Complete genome sequence of Pediococcus acidilactici strain SRCM103444 isolated from cheonggukjang

utilized in the food industry and antibiotics development. The whole genome sequencing using PacBio RS II platform was performed for a lactic acid bacteria P. acidilactici SRCM 103444 isolated from cheonggukjang. The genome of strain SRCM103444 is circular chromosome of 1,970,727 bp with a G + C contents of 42.1%, and included 1,833 protein coding genes and 71 RNA genes (15 rRNA genes, 56 tRNA genes). Genes related to lactic acid production and alcohol tolerant enzymes were detected in the genome. The genome analysis showed that strain SRCM103444 might be associated with lactic acid fermentation and alcohol tolerant activity in the nutraceutical biotechnology field.
