Draft Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus kefiri SGL 13, a Potential Probiotic Strain Isolated from Kefir Grains

Abstract

In this report, we present the draft genome sequence of a newly discovered potential probiotic strain of Lactobacillus kefiri , SGL 13, isolated from kefir grains. Antibiotic resistance analysis did not reveal evidence of interspecific horizontal gene transfer since the identified bacitracin resistance gene does not have mobile genetic elements.
