# Complete genome sequence of psychrobacter sp. KFRI-CH2-11: A psychrotolerant bacterium with probiotic, biofortification, and antimicrobial potential for the dairy and meat industries

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome of a cold-tolerant bacterium with potential uses in food production, including probiotic and antimicrobial properties.

## Contribution

The paper provides the complete genome sequence of a novel Psychrobacter strain with probiotic and food industry applications.

## Key findings

- The genome contains genes for Vitamin B12 biosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism.
- CRISPR-Cas systems and antioxidant genes were identified, supporting its biotechnological potential.
- No pathogenicity genes were found, confirming its safety for use in food products.

## Abstract

This dataset provides the complete genome sequence of Psychrobacter sp. KFRI-CH2-11, isolated from Korean fermented anchovy, Myeolchi-jeotgal. Genomic analysis identified genes involved in Vitamin B12 biosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, CRISPR-Cas defense systems, and antioxidant activity, underscoring the strain's potential for use in food biotechnology. Additional genes linked to antibiotic resistance and bioremediation suggest adaptability in diverse environments, particularly cold-chain storage in the dairy and meat industry. PathogenFinder analysis confirmed the absence of pathogenicity-associated genes, validating the strain's suitability as a probiotic and biofortifying agent in food products.
