Abstract:
This strain was isolated from traditionally (homemade) fermented Lithuanian cherry tomatoes. The genome consists of 55 contigs with a total size of 3,326,119 bp, an N50 of 170738, and a GC% of 44.3 %. According to the COG annotation, most of these proteins were divided into three categories related to transcription (K category: 307), amino acid transport and metabolism (E category: 222), and carbohydrate transport and metabolism (G category: 268). No genes associated with antimicrobial resistance or virulence factors were identified. The data presented here can be used in comparative genomics to identify antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence factors that may be present in relevant Lactobacillus species. PlasmidFinder server revealed the presence of plasmid pR18 (assessment number JN601038) in the genome that has lincomycin resistance, can be transferred from one bacterium to another, and is one of the most common plasmids in the genera Bacillus and Lactobacillus. The draft genome sequence data have been deposited with NCBI under Bioproject under accession number PRJNA947394.
