Whole-genome sequencing was performed for JCM 8573 to confirm its hitherto controversial taxonomic position. Here, we report its first reliable reference genome. Genome-wide metrics, such as average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization, and phylogenomic analysis based on multiple genes supported its taxonomic status as a distinct species in the genus The availability of a reliable genome sequence will aid future investigations on the industrial applications of in functional foods such as kefir grains.
对JCM 8573进行了全基因组测序,以确认其迄今为止存在争议的分类地位。在此,我们报告其首个可靠的参考基因组。全基因组指标,如平均核苷酸同一性和数字DNA-DNA杂交,以及基于多个基因的系统发育基因组分析,支持了其作为该属中一个独特物种的分类地位。可靠基因组序列的可用性将有助于未来对其在开菲尔粒等功能性食品工业应用方面的研究。
