Genome Announc. 2013 Sep 26;1(5):e00758-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00758-13.

Abstract

Lactobacillus casei is usually regarded as a bacterium that lives naturally in the human intestinal tract, where it can contribute to host health and well-being. We describe here the complete genome sequence of L. casei LOCK919, a strain with probiotic properties isolated from child feces. The genome consists of a 3.11-Mb chromosome and a 29,768-bp plasmid.
