Abstract
We here report a 3.02-Mbp annotated draft assembly of the Lactobacillus casei 5b genome. The sequence of this biogenic amine-degrading dairy isolate may help identify the mechanisms involved in the catabolism of biogenic amines and perhaps shed light on ways to reduce the presence of these toxic compounds in food.
Highlights
We here report a 3.02-Mbp annotated draft assembly of the Lactobacillus casei 5b genome
Lactobacillus casei is a species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that is encountered in several habitats, including human mucosae and raw and fermented foods, especially dairy foods, in which it is the dominant nonstarter LAB during ripening (1)
Such a varied ecological distribution has fueled the development of biotechnological applications for this microorganism, e.g., as probiotics (2), mucosal biotherapeutic agents (3), and detoxifiers of biogenic amines (BA) in cheeses (4)
Summary
We here report a 3.02-Mbp annotated draft assembly of the Lactobacillus casei 5b genome. Lactobacillus casei is a species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that is encountered in several habitats, including human mucosae and raw and fermented foods, especially dairy foods, in which it is the dominant nonstarter LAB during ripening (1). There is a general consensus regarding the need to reduce their presence in foods. Knowledge of the genome sequence of the BA-degrading strain L. casei 5b might provide insight into how this organism can be used as natural bioremediator.
