Abstract
-
Leuconostoc lactis EFEL005 (KACC 91922) isolated from
kimchi showed promising probiotic attributes; resistance
against acid and bile salts, absence of transferable genes for
antibiotic resistance, broad utilization of prebiotics, and no
hemolytic activity. To expand our understanding of the species,
we generated a draft genome sequence of the strain and
analyzed its genomic features related to the aforementioned
probiotic properties. Genome assembly resulted in 35 contigs,
and the draft genome has 1,688,202 base pairs (bp) with
a G+C content of 43.43%, containing 1,644 protein-coding
genes and 50 RNA genes. The average nucleotide identity
analysis showed high homology (≥ 96%) to the type strain
L. lactis KCTC3528, but low homology (≤ 95%) to L. lactis
KCTC3773 (formerly L. argentinum). Genomic analysis revealed
the presence of various genes for sucrose metabolism
(glucansucrases, invertases, sucrose phosphorylases, and
mannitol dehydrogenase), acid tolerance (F1F0 ATPases, cation
transport ATPase, branched-chain amino acid permease,
and lysine decarboxylase), vancomycin response regulator,
and antibacterial peptide (Lactacin F). No gene for production
of biogenic amines (histamine and tyramine) was found.
This report will facilitate the understanding of probiotic
properties of this strain as a starter for fermented foods.

Abstract
-
Tentative identification of Leuconostoc lactis IH23 isolated from kimchi (a fermented vegetable product) has been described previously with 16S rDNA sequencing (Choi, I., M. Sc. Thesis Inha Univ. 1999). This strain produced the slime identified as dextran based on IR, 13C- and 1H-NMR spectroscopic results. Further study proved that the isolate IH23 belongs to a homogeneous genetic group with L. lactis DSM 20202T and L. argentinum DSM 8581T. The results showed DNA-DNA homology of 99-100%, 16S rDNA gene sequence similarity (99.7%), and a phylogenetic relationship although L. argentinum DSM 8581T had lower homology (80-91%). These data indicate that L. argentinum DSM 8581T and the isolate IH23 belong to an identical species with L. lactis DSM 20202T at the genetic level, although in carbohydrate fermentation, the isolate IH23 was most closely related to L. argentinum DSM 8581T and quite different from L. lactis DSM 20202T. Here we first report the isolation of consistent phenotypic variation in Leuconostoc lactis. We also emphasize that the nomenclature of subspecies needs to be differentiated into the three strains mentioned above in Leuconostoc lactis.
