Draft Genome Sequences of Three Novel Low-Abundance Species Strains Isolated from Kefir Grain

Genome Announc. 2017 Sep 28;5(39):e00869-17. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00869-17.

Abstract

We report here the genome sequences of three novel bacterial species strains-Bacillus kefirresidentii Opo, Rothia kefirresidentii KRP, and Streptococcus kefirresidentii YK-isolated from kefir grains collected in Germany. The draft genomes of these isolates were remarkably dissimilar (average nucleotide identities, 77.80%, 89.01%, and 92.10%, respectively) to those of the previously sequenced strains.
