    Abstract:
    With the aim of describing the human microbiota by the means of culture methods, culturomics was developed in order to target previously un-isolated bacterial species and describe it via the taxono-genomics approach. While performing a descriptive study of the human gut microbiota of the pygmy people, strain Marseille-P4678T has been isolated from a stool sample of a healthy 39-year-old pygmy male. Cells of this strain were Gram-positive cocci, spore-forming, non-motile, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative, and grow optimally at 37°C under anaerobic conditions. Its 16S rRNA gene sequence exhibited 89.69% of sequence similarity with Parvimonas micra strain 3119BT (NR 036934.1), its phylogenetically closest species with standing in nomenclature. The genome of strain Marseille-P4678T is 2,083,161 long with 28.26 mol% of G+C content. Based on its phenotypic, biochemical, genotypic and proteomic profile, this bacterium was classified as a new bacterial genus and species Miniphocibacter massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov. with the type strain Marseille-P4678T .
