Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus agilis strain Marseille, isolated from stool samples of a child suffering from kwashiorkor. This strain can use two metabolic pathways allowing the assimilation of glucose and xylose. Here, we present the first draft genome of the Lactobacillus agilis species.
