# Draft genome of Lactobacillus amylovorus KSAU with probiotic potential isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of industrial pigs

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a Lactobacillus strain from pigs, which may help in developing probiotics for animal health.

## Contribution

The study reports the genome of Lactobacillus amylovorus KSAU and identifies bacteriocin-related genes relevant to probiotic development.

## Key findings

- The Lactobacillus amylovorus KSAU strain was isolated from industrial pig gastrointestinal tract.
- Genes related to bacteriocin synthesis were identified, indicating potential for probiotic applications.

## Abstract

The Lactobacillus amylovorus KSAU strain was isolated from the chyme of the intestinal cecum of an industrial pig. Genes encoding the synthesis of bacteriocins were annotated and suggest their potential to improve the preparation and production of probiotics for pigs.
