Complete genome sequences of Lactococcus lactis JNU 534, a potential food and feed preservative

Abstract

A new bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi was identified as Lactococcus lactis JNU 534, presenting preservative properties for foods of animal origin. In this study, we present the complete genome sequence of the bacterial strain JNU 534. The final complete genome assembly consists of one circular chromosome (2,443,687 bp [base pair]) with an overall GC (guanine-cytosine) content of 35.2%, one circular plasmid sequence (46,387 bp) with a GC content of 34.5%, and one circular contig sequence (7,666 bp) with a GC content of 36.2%.
