Draft Genome Sequence of Bifidobacterium adolescentis 4-2, Isolated from Healthy Human Feces

Bifidobacterium adolescentis 4-2 was isolated from healthy human feces. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of this bacterium, which may clarify the functionality of gut microbiota-brain communication. The draft genome comprises 2.39 Mb, with an average G+C content of 59.2% and 2,028 coding DNA sequences. An operon for gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) biosynthesis was observed in the draft genome.

Automated summary

In this study, the draft genome sequence of Bifidobacterium adolescentis 4-2 isolated from healthy human feces was reported. The presence of an operon for gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) biosynthesis in the draft genome may provide insights into the functionality of gut microbiota-brain communication.
