Complete and assembled genome sequence of Bifidobacterium kashiwanohense PV20-2, isolated from the feces of an anemic Kenyan infant

Abstract

The complete genome sequence of Bifidobacterium kashiwanohense strain PV20-2, an infant feces isolate, was determined using single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT). Hierarchical genome assembly resulted in a completely assembled genome of 2,370,978 bp. The B. kashiwanohense PV20-2 genome is the first completely sequenced and assembled genome of the species.
