Complete Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum Strain LB1-2, Isolated from the Hindgut of European Honeybees, Apis mellifera L., from the Philippines

Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum strain LB1-2, isolated from the hindgut of European honeybees in the Philippines, is active against Paenibacillus larvae and has broad activity against several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The complete genome sequence reported herein contains gene clusters for multiple bacteriocins and extensive gene inventories for carbohydrate metabolism.This work, including the efforts of M.F.C.I.-C, was funded by the Research Center, Cavite State University, and the Department of Science and Technology–Accelerated S&T Human Resource Development Program (DOST-ASTHRDP) under the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD). The efforts of A.D.M. and N.G.S. were performed under the auspices of the University of Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) Basic Research grant 88-D75-23.
