Leuconostoc kimchii IMSNU 11154, isolated from kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, is known to be an important antimicrobial lactic acid bacterium with probiotic potential. Here we announce the complete genome sequence of L. kimchii IMSNU 11154 consisting of a 2,101,787-bp chromosome and five plasmids. The strain has genes for dextran formation from sucrose and for mannitol formation from fructose. Antimicrobial and antioxidative functions of L. kimchii IMSNU 11154 could be attributed to a leucosin B-like peptide and multiple enzymes to reduce hydrogen peroxide and oxidized thiols, respectively.
从传统的韩国发酵食品泡菜中分离到的 Leuconostoc kimchii IMSNU 11154 是一种重要的具有潜在益生菌特性的抗菌性乳酸菌。在这里,我们公布了 L. kimchii IMSNU 11154 的全基因组序列,其由一个 2,101,787 碱基对的染色体和五个质粒组成。该菌株具有从蔗糖形成葡聚糖和从果糖形成甘露醇的基因。Leuconostoc kimchii IMSNU 11154 的抗菌和抗氧化功能可以归因于一种亮氨酸素 B 样肽和多种酶,分别用于还原过氧化氢和氧化的巯基。
