Genome analysis of Limosilactobacillus fermentum JN2019 applied to tumeric fermentation for animal feed

Abstract

Limosilactobacillus fermentum JN2019, formerly named Lactobacillus fermentum JN2019, was isolated from kimchi. Its genome was completely sequenced using the PacBio RSII sequencing system to explore beneficial phenotypes. In a previous study, L. fermentum JN2019 was used to ferment the by-product of tumeric for use in livestock feed. The 2.3 Mb genome had a high guanine (G) + cytosine (C) content of 50.6% and a 30 kb plasmid. The data will inform the comprehensive understanding of JN2019 and provide insights for potential applications.
