Genome Sequences of Three Lactobacillus Species Strains of the Stomach of the White-Footed Deermouse (peromyscus Leucopus)

Three colony types of Lactobacillus were isolated from the stomach of LL colony stock Peromyscus leucopus deermice, a reservoir for several human zoonoses. Genome sequences revealed two isolates to be new strains of Lactobacillus animalis and Lactobacillus reuteri. The third was distinct from known species and was provisionally designated Lactobacillus sp. strain LL6.
