Whole-Genome Sequence of Bifidobacterium longum Strain Indica, Isolated from the Gut of a Healthy Indian Adult

ABSTRACT Bifidobacterium longum, a Gram-positive rod-shaped anaerobic bacterium, inhabits the human gastrointestinal tract and contributes significantly to oligosaccharide production, amino acid metabolism, and protection against intestinal inflammation. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of B. longum, which was isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a healthy Indian adult.
