Abstract

The draft genome sequences of five Lactobacillus pentosus strains isolated from biofilms on the skin of green table olives are presented here. These genome sequences will assist in revealing the potential probiotic properties of these strains, as the intake of fermented olives implicates the passage of millions of Lactobacillus spp. throughout a consumer's gastrointestinal tract.

Highlights

  • Lactobacillus pentosus is the most important microorganism responsible for the fermentation of olives [1,2,3]

  • The NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) [13] was used to annotate the strains, and it was completed using the following protocol: protein-coding genes were predicted using Prodigal version 2.6.3 [14], and they were functionally annotated by Sma3s v2 using UniProt bacteria [15]

  • To estimate the number of plasmids appearing in each strain, the contig sequences were compared to all the plasmid sequences from Lactobacillus species available in the RefSeq database using BLASTN and 90% for both identity and coverage
