Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Bifidobacterium pseudolongum strain UMB-MBP-01, isolated from the feces of C57BL/6J mice. This strain was identified in microbiome profiling studies and associated with improved transplant outcome in a murine model of cardiac heterotypic transplantation.
