The Bifidobacterium longum 5 strain of isolated from feces of a healthy child, has demonstrated probiotic properties by in vivo and in vitro studies, which may be assigned to its production of metabolites such as acetate. Thus, through the study of comparative genomics, the present work sought to identify unique genes that might be related to the production of acetate. To perform the study, the DNA strain was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq technology, followed by assembly and manual curation of coding sequences.
