Complete Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus johnsonii MR1, Isolated from a BALB/c Mouse Cecum

Lactobacillus johnsonii strain MR1, which was isolated from the cecum of a BALB/cJ mouse in an airway allergy model, can decrease allergic airway inflammation in the model upon oral administration. Long-read sequencing of this isolate, which was performed using a MinION sequencer, yielded a single, closed genome of 1,953,837 bp, with a GC content of 34.67%.
