Draft genome sequences of three Lactococcus lactis strains with multiple bacteriocin gene clusters isolated from sourdough samples

TL;DR

This paper presents draft genomes of three Lactococcus lactis strains from sourdough, each containing multiple bacteriocin gene clusters, including nisin Z.

Contribution

The novelty lies in identifying multiple bacteriocin gene clusters, including nisin Z, in Lactococcus lactis strains from sourdough.

Findings

Three Lactococcus lactis strains from sourdough contain multiple bacteriocin gene clusters.

All three strains share a gene cluster encoding nisin Z.

Abstract

We report on the draft genome sequences of Lactococcus lactis strains A4_4, C1_19, and C8_26 isolated from sourdough. The strains were found to harbor multiple bacteriocin gene clusters, where one encoding nisin Z was found in all three strains.
