HAMAP: Finegoldia magna (strain ATCC 29328) (Peptostreptococcus magnus) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Finegoldia magna (strain ATCC 29328) (Peptostreptococcus magnus)
Species code: FINM2
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Clostridia; Clostridiales; Clostridiales Family XI. Incertae Sedis; Finegoldia (TaxID: 334413) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Finegoldia magna (strain ATCC 29328), formerly known as Peptostreptococcus magnus, is a Gram-positive anaerobic coccus. It is a commensal bacterium that colonizes human skin and mucous membranes but it has also been recognized as an opportunistic pathogen responsible for various infectious diseases. It is isolated most frequently from various infection sites, including soft tissue, bone and joint, and diabetic foot infections.

The genome of Finegoldia magna (strain ATCC 29328) is made up of a circular chromosome and a plasmid with a GC content of 32.3 and 29.7%, respectively.

It does not possess a complete TCA cycle as only the step from pyruvate to fumarate is present. It has a complete gene set for the biosynthesis of five amino acids (glycine, serine, threonine, aspartate and asparagine). Many amino acid/oligopeptide transporters have been identified. Forty-nine ABC transporters have been found. Three homologs of albumin-binding protein, a virulence factor useful for antiphagocytosis, are encoded on the chromosome and one is encoded on the plasmid.
