Draft genome sequence data of Bifidobacterium longum strain VKPM Ac-1636, a prospective probiotic isolated from human gut

Abstract

Data on the draft genome sequence of Bifidobacterium longumsubsp. longum strain Ac-1636 is presented in this report. This strain, isolated from the digestive tract of one-year old healthy infant, was deposited in the Russian National Collection of Industrial Microorganisms as a prospective candidate for development of probiotics and probiotic foods. The 2,321,741 bp draft genome consists of 73 scaffolds with N50 of 162,253 bp. Genome annotation revealed the presence of multiple determinants of probiotic properties of this strain. The draft genome sequence data of strainAc-1636 is available in DBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession nos. RZHL00000000, PRJNA511803 and SAMN10644101 for Genome, Bioproject and Biosample, respectively.
