Abstract

ABSTRACTThe genome of the immunomodulatory Lactobacillus plantarum MPL16, a strain able to ferment wakame (Undaria pinnatifida), is described here. The reads were assembled into contigs with a total size 3,278,495 bp. The genome information will be useful for further specific genetic studies of this strain that evaluate its immunomodulatory and biotechnological properties.

Highlights

  • The genome of the immunomodulatory Lactobacillus plantarum MPL16, a strain able to ferment wakame (Undaria pinnatifida), is described here

  • The RAST server and the NCBI’s Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline were used for the functional annotation of predicted genes [3]. tRNAs and rRNAs were identified by tRNAscan-SE and RNAmmer, respectively [4, 5]

  • The draft genome of L. plantarum MPL16 consists of 3,278,495 bp with a mean GϩC content of 43.6%

Summary

Introduction

The genome of the immunomodulatory Lactobacillus plantarum MPL16, a strain able to ferment wakame (Undaria pinnatifida), is described here. We present a draft genome sequence of L. plantarum MPL16, which was sequenced using a whole-genome shotgun strategy on an Illumina MiSeq sequencer. Paired reads with lengths of 300 bp were obtained corresponding to a 3,580-fold coverage. Quality-filtered reads were assembled using Ngen version 12.2.0 software (DNASTAR).
