Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria are important members of the gut microbiota of humans and animals. Here, we present the genome sequence of Lactobacillus crispatus strain C25, originally isolated from the cecum of 4-week-old chicken fed a standard diet. This isolate represents a potential probiotic strain for poultry.
Highlights
Lactobacilli are members of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB); they are found in diverse environments, including plants, fermented foods, oral cavities, and the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and animals
Lactobacillus crispatus has previously been identified among the vaginal microbiota [1, 2] and the intestine of chickens [3, 4]
L. crispatus strain C25 was isolated from the cecal microbiota of 4-week-old female commercial white leghorn laying-type chicks (W-36, Hy-line North America, LLC, Mansfield, GA, USA)
Summary
Lactobacilli are members of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB); they are found in diverse environments, including plants, fermented foods, oral cavities, and the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and animals. The genus Lactobacillus is one of the largest in the LAB group, and the genome sequence of a large number (~174 species) are available (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes /lproks.cgi). Lactobacillus crispatus has previously been identified among the vaginal microbiota [1, 2] and the intestine of chickens [3, 4]. L. crispatus strain C25 was isolated from the cecal microbiota of 4-week-old female commercial white leghorn laying-type chicks (W-36, Hy-line North America, LLC, Mansfield, GA, USA).
