is a diverse species that includes nomadic strains isolated from a variety of environmental niches. Several strains are being incorporated in fermented foodstuffs as starter cultures, while some of them have also been characterized as probiotics. In this study, we present the draft genome sequence of L125, a potential probiotic strain presenting biotechnological interest, originally isolated from a traditional fermented meat product.

is a diverse genus that includes species of industrial and biomedical interest. , formerly known as , is a recently reclassified species, that contains strains isolated from diverse environmental niches, ranging from fermented products to mammalian gut microbiota. Importantly, several strains present health-promoting properties, such as immunomodulatory and antiproliferative activities, and are regarded as potential probiotic strains.
