SAMN02643344 Rickettsia buchneri sp. nov. ISO7 Rickettsia tamurae subsp. buchneri The purpose of this study was to culture this bacteria and determine it's genome sequence. This bacteria is an obligate intracellular endosymbiont of the tick Ixodes scapularis. The genome will be compared to those of other rickettsia, both pathogens and non-pathogens.
