title: Draft Genome Sequence of Pediococcus parvulus 2.6, a Probiotic β-Glucan Producer Strain.
abstract: We report here the draft genome sequence of the probiotic Pediococcus parvulus 2.6, a lactic acid bacterial strain isolated from ropy cider. The bacterium produces a prebiotic and immunomodulatory exopolysaccharide, and this is the first strain of the P. parvulus species whose genome has been characterized.
