title: Whole-genome shotgun sequencing of an Indian-origin Lactobacillus helveticus strain, MTCC 5463, with probiotic potential.
abstract: Lactobacillus helveticus MTCC 5463 was isolated from a vaginal swab from a healthy adult female. The strain exhibited potential probiotic properties, with their beneficial role in the gastrointestinal tract and their ability to reduce cholesterol and stimulate immunity. We sequenced the whole genome and compared it with the published genome sequence of Lactobacillus helveticus DPC4571.
