Complete genome sequence of probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum P-8 with antibacterial activity

摘要

Lactobacillus plantarum P-8 is a probiotic bacterium, which shows high antibacterial activity. The genome consists of a circular 3,033,693-bp chromosome and six plasmids. Bioinformatics inspection of the genome revealed a gene cluster relating to bacteriocin production. Genome information has provided the basis for understanding the potential molecular mechanism behind the bacteriocin production. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
