title: Draft Genome Sequence of Megasphaera sp. Strain DJF_B143, an Isolate from Pig Hindgut Unable to Produce Skatole.
abstract: The butyrate-producing Megasphaera spp. predominate in the pig hindgut and may play important roles in gut health. Moreover, one Megasphaera isolate has been reported to produce the boar taint compound, skatole. Here, we provide a 2.58-Mbp draft genome of a pig hindgut isolate, Megasphaera sp. DJF_B143, unable to produce skatole.
