Whole genome sequence analysis of C7 isolated from pig feces revealed three bacteriocin gene clusters.

We here report the whole genome sequence of C7 with anti-listerial activity, which was isolated from pig feces. The genome size of C7 (~ 3.0 Mb) is relatively larger compared with other strains. C7 carries three bacteriocin gene clusters encoding garvicin Q, salivaricin A, and Blp family class II bacteriocin. Garvicin Q and salivaricin A are reported to be active against and , respectively, as well as against other Gram-positive bacteria. Meanwhile, the bacteriocin encoded in the cassette was shown to be active against pneumococci, mediating intraspecies competition. This report highlights the potential of C7 for the production of bacteriocins inhibiting pathogenic bacteria.
