High-quality draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus casei strain Z11, isolated from a human adult intestinal biopsy sample

Abstract

Several Lactobacillus casei strains are used as probiotics. L. casei strain Z11, isolated from a human colon biopsy sample, has been suggested as a probiotic candidate based on promising properties in vitro. Here, we present a 2.74-Mbp highquality draft genome sequence for this strain.
