Genome sequence analysis of the oligosaccharide-producing strain Leuconostoc lactis SBC001

Abstract

Genome sequencing was conducted to identify the genetic characteristics of Leuconostoc lactis SBC001 isolated from garlic chive. The genome assembly showed three contigs, and the genome size was 1,835,155 bp with 43.1% GC content. Furthermore, genome annotation showed that the genome included 1,689 protein-coding genes, 12 rRNA genes, 67 tRNA genes, three ncRNA genes, and 45 pseudogenes. Leuconostoc lactis SBC001 and 24 L. lactis strains were close, with average nucleotide identity values ranging from a minimum of 93.96% (strain WiKim21) to a maximum of 98.49% (strain UBA5566). Additionally, L. lactis SBC001 has various oligosaccharidesynthesizing genes, such as genes encoding glycosyltransferase, dextransucrase, maltose phosphorylase, and β-galactosidase.
