Abstract
In this study, we present the draft genome sequence of Carnobacterium divergens V41. This strain was previously reported as producing divercin V41, a bacteriocin of interest for food biopreservation. Its genome revealed also the presence of a gene cluster putatively involved in polyketide production, which is unique in lactic acid bacteria.
Highlights
Carnobacterium spp. are lactic acid bacteria (LAB) whose taxonomic classification has been modified several times
Carnobacterium maltaromaticum and Carnobacterium divergens are dominant in meat, seafood, and dairy food products
Upstream from the dvnVTIRK gene cluster, which was previously reported as being responsible for divercin V41 production [4], we noticed a coding sequences (CDSs) similar to PedC, a thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase putatively involved in the posttranslational maturation of bacteriocins [9]
Summary
Carnobacterium spp. are lactic acid bacteria (LAB) whose taxonomic classification has been modified several times. The Carnobacterium genus is currently composed of 11 species that have been isolated mostly from water or sediment and/or cold environments. Carnobacterium maltaromaticum and Carnobacterium divergens are dominant in meat (beef, pork, and poultry), seafood (fish and shrimps), and dairy (raw milk and cheese) food products.
