Abstract

We present the completely sequenced genome of Bifidobacterium breve CBT BR3, which was isolated from the feces of a healthy infant. The 2.43-Mb genome contains several kinds of genetic factors associated with health promotion of the human host such as oligosaccharide-degrading genes and vitamin-biosynthetic genes.

Keywords: Human milk oligosaccharide; PacBio sequencing; Phospholipase; Probiotics; Vitamin.
