Complete genome sequence of potential probiotic Lactobacillus sp. HFC8, isolated from human gut using PacBio SMRT sequencing

Abstract

We report a 3.07-Mb complete genome sequence of a lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus sp. HFC8. The gene-coding clusters are predicated for probiotic characteristics, like bacteriocin production, cell adhesion, bile salt hydrolysis, lactose metabolism, autoaggregation, and tolerance to oxidative stress.
