# Draft genome sequence of traditional fermented bamboo shoot-origin Levilactobacillus zymae isolate obtained from India

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of a bacteria found in fermented bamboo shoots from India, which could help understand its role in fermentation and health.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first draft genome sequence of Levilactobacillus zymae from an Indian fermented bamboo shoot.

## Key findings

- The genome is 2,750,751 bp with 53.18% GC content.
- It contains 2,656 protein-coding genes, 4 rRNAs, and 58 tRNAs.

## Abstract

The genome of Levilactobacillus zymae H2S4L2, isolated from an Indian traditional fermented bamboo shoot, was sequenced using Illumina MiSeq. The 2,750,751 bp genome had 53.18% GC content with 2,656 protein-coding genes, 4 rRNAs, and 58 tRNAs. Genome analysis may reveal adaptation in the fermentation ecosystem and health applications.
