Lactobacillus mucosae CRL573, isolated from children feces, efficiently converts fructose and/or sucrose into the low-calorie sugar mannitol when cultured in modified MRS medium at pH 5.0. Also, the strain is capable of producing bacteriocin. Here, the draft genome sequence of this strain with potential industrial applications is presented
