Genome Announc. 2015 May 14;3(3):e00478-15. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00478-15.

Abstract

We announce the draft genome sequence of the type strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus CLS17 (2,889,314 nt, with a GC content of 46.8%), which is one of the most prevalent lactic acid bacteria present during the manufacturing process of dairy products; the genome consists of 71 large contigs (>100 bp in size). It contains 2,643 protein-coding sequences, single predicted copies of the 5S, 16S, and 23S rRNA genes, and 51 predicted tRNAs.
