title: Draft Genome Sequence of the Respiration-Competent Strain Lactobacillus casei N87.
abstract: Lactobacillus casei is used as a starter, adjunct, and/or probiotic culture in the production of fermented and functional foods. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the respiration-competent strain L. casei N87, isolated from infant feces. This genome information may be useful for the study of respiratory metabolism in lactic acid bacteria.
