Complete and annotated genome sequence of the sourdough lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus fermentum IMDO 130101

Abstract

Lactobacillus fermentum is a species of lactic acid bacteria that is frequently found in sourdough, a fermented flour-water mixture used in the production of bread and other baked goods. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of L. fermentum IMDO 130101, a candidate sourdough starter culture strain isolated from a backslopped rye sourdough.
