Abstract
Three colony types of Lactobacillus were isolated from the stomach of LL colony stock Peromyscus leucopus deermice, a reservoir for several human zoonoses. Genome sequences revealed two isolates to be new strains of Lactobacillus animalis and Lactobacillus reuteri The third was distinct from known species and was provisionally designated Lactobacillus sp. strain LL6.
Highlights
During study of the GI tract of animals of P. leucopus LL stock (Peromyscus Genetic Stock Center, University of South Carolina), we identified three types of Lactobacillus in the stomachs, ceca, and feces of both females and males
Annotation was provided by the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (6)
By the criterion of 16S ribosomal sequence identity of Ն99%, isolates LL1 and LL7 were identified as Lactobacillus animalis and Lactobacillus reuteri, respectively
Summary
During study of the GI tract of animals of P. leucopus LL stock (Peromyscus Genetic Stock Center, University of South Carolina), we identified three types of Lactobacillus in the stomachs, ceca, and feces of both females and males. A hybrid assembly of each genome was carried out with Unicycler v. 0.4.7 (5) with default settings and 16 threads on the high-performance computing cluster of the University of California Irvine. Circularly permuted chromosomes were obtained for two of the isolates (LL1 and LL7), and two contigs of 1.75 Mb and 0.32 Mb, respectively, were obtained for the third (LL6) (Table 1).
