Genome sequence and annotation of Sporolactobacillus pectinivorans GD201205 T, a lactic acid-producing bacterium

The novel species Sporolactobacillus pectinivorans GD201205^T can produce lactic acid and aromatic compounds such as isoamyl acetate and phenethyl acetate. To characterize this strain, we sequenced the whole genome of S. pectinivorans GD201205^T and determined that it contains a 3,926,837-bp chromosome with a GC content of 44.27%, 4320 genes, 64 tRNAs, 14 rRNAs, and four sRNAs. The identification of the gene sequence of S. pectinivorans GD201205^T provides a basis for understanding its molecular genetics and features, which in turn will facilitate its potential application as a starter culture in the food processing industry.
