Strain GD1(T) gen. nov., sp. nov., is the type strain of the newly proposed genus and species Drancourtella massiliensis, belonging to the Clostridiales order. This strain, isolated from the stool of a healthy person, is a Gram-positive rod, oxygen intolerant and nonmotile, with spore-forming activity. The features of this organism and its genome sequence are described. The draft genome is 3 05...

AI 057 Abstract The Supervised Growing Neural Gas algorithm (SGNG) provides an interesting alternative to standard multilayer perceptrons (MLP). A comparison is drawn between the performance of SGNG and MLP in the domain of function mapping. A further eld of interest is classiication power, which has been investigated with real data taken by PS197 at CERN. The characteristics of the two network...
