Genome sequence of Lactobacillus pentosus IG1, a strain isolated from Spanish-style green olive fermentations

Abstract

Lactobacillus pentosus is the most prevalent lactic acid bacterium in Spanish-style green olive fermentations.Here we present the draft genome sequence of L. pentosus IG1, a bacteriocin-producing strain with biotechnologicaland probiotic properties isolated from this food fermentations. © 2011, American Society for Microbiology.
