Draft Genome Sequence of Weissella cibaria P71, a Promising Aquaculture Probiotic Strain Isolated from Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris)

Abstract

Weissella cibaria P71 is a lactic acid bacterium that was isolated from common octopus ( Octopus vulgaris ) and previously showed interesting probiotic properties for turbot ( Scophthalmus maximus L.) farming. The draft genome sequence of this strain provides further data to support its potential as a probiotic for aquaculture.
