Bifidobacterium breve BR03 (DSM 16604) is known for its health-promoting activity. We present a single-scaffold genome obtained by using a hybrid approach combining long- and short-read sequencing techniques integrated by an optical map. This approach could be set as an industry standard for probiotic strain characterization.Copyright © 2019 Fracchetti et al.
