Abstract

Megasphaera sueciensis is an obligate anaerobic, gram-negative beer spoilage bacterium causing unwanted off-flavors and turbidity. Here we report the complete and circular genome of 2.9 Mbp with 2,696 predicted coding sequences of the type strain Megasphaera sueciensis DSM 17042.

Keywords: Megasphaera sueciensis; beer spoilage; genome; obligate anaerobe.
