Microvirga massiliensis sp. nov. strain JC 119 T is a bacteria isolated in Marseille from a stool sample collected in Senegal. The 16S rRNA ( JF 824802) of M. massiliensis JC 119 T revealed 95% sequence identity with Microvirga lotononidis WSM 3557 T ( HM 362432). This bacterium is aerobic, gram negative, catalase positive, and oxidase negative. The draft genome of M. massiliensis JC 119 T comprises a 9,207,211‐bp‐long genome that is the largest bacterial genome of an isolate in humans. The genome exhibits a G+C content of 63.28% and contains 8685 protein‐coding genes and 77 RNA genes, including 21 rRNA genes. Here, we describe the features of M. massiliensis JC 119 T , together with the genome sequence information and its annotation.
