Abstract
We here report a 3.059-Mbp draft assembly for the genome of Enterococcus durans strain IPLA 655. This dairy isolate provides a model for studying the regulation of the biosynthesis of tyramine (a toxic compound). These results should aid our understanding of tyramine production and allow tyramine accumulation in food to be reduced.
Highlights
We here report a 3.059-Mbp draft assembly for the genome of Enterococcus durans strain IPLA 655
Tyramine production in bacteria has been related to energy production and the acidic stress response [4]
E. durans strain IPLA 655, which was isolated from a traditional cheese [5], provides a model for research into tyramine production [6,7,8,9]
Summary
We here report a 3.059-Mbp draft assembly for the genome of Enterococcus durans strain IPLA 655. Enterococcus durans is a minor component of the intestinal microbiota of humans and domestic animals [1]. It is commonly found in animal-derived food products, especially milk and cheese [2]. The ingestion of food with high tyramine concentrations causes an intoxication, known as the cheese reaction, characterized by migraine, hypertension, etc.
