Abstract
This report describes the draft genome sequence of Weissella viridescens UCO-SMC3, isolated from Helix aspersa Müller slime. The reads were generated by a whole-genome sequencing (WGS) strategy on an Illumina MiSeq sequencer and were assembled into contigs with a total estimated size of 1,612,814 bp. A total of 2,455 genes were predicted, including 2,301 protein-coding sequences. The draft genome sequence of W. viridescens UCO-SMC3 will be useful for further studies of specific genetic features and for understanding the mechanisms of its beneficial properties in the skin.
Highlights
This report describes the draft genome sequence of Weissella viridescens UCO-SMC3, isolated from Helix aspersa Müller slime
With the aim of improving our understanding of the factors involved in the skin protection achieved by snail slime, we isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from the slime of the garden snail Helix aspersa Müller
Among the LAB isolated from snail slime, the UCO-SMC3 strain was selected because of its ability to inhibit the growth of the skin-associated pathogens Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro
