Abstract

We announce here the draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus fermentum NCDC 400, a potential probiotic strain isolated from a traditional Indian dairy product. The genome size of Lactobacillus fermentum NCDC 400 is 1.89 Mb, and the assembled sequence consists of 185 contigs joined into 138 scaffolds.
