We had previously isolated Enterococcus gallinarum AH4, a strain capable of degrading rat milk oligosaccharides. In this study, we determined the whole-genome sequence of AH4. This whole-genome information will expand our understanding of milk oligosaccharide-mediated symbioses between bacteria and host mammals.
Keywords: Enterococcus gallinarum; genome sequence; milk oligosaccharide; sialyllactose; suckling rats; symbiosis.
