Whole-Genome Sequence of a Megasphaera elsdenii Strain Isolated from the Gut of a Healthy Indian Adult Subject.

Megasphaera elsdenii has been previously reported in the gut of ruminating animals. Its role as an animal probiotic is being investigated, specifically from the perspective of enhancing animal productivity. Herein, we report the draft genome sequence of M. elsdenii strain indica isolated from the stool sample of a healthy Indian subject.
