Genome sequence of Lactobacillus saerimneri 30a (formerly Lactobacillus sp. strain 30a), a reference lactic acid bacterium strain producing biogenic amines

Abstract

Lactobacillus sp. strain 30a (Lactobacillus saerimneri) produces the biogenic amines histamine, putrescine, and cadaverine by decarboxylating their amino acid precursors. We report its draft genome sequence (1,634,278 bases, 42.6% G+C content) and the principal findings from its annotation, which might shed light onto the enzymatic machineries that are involved in its production of biogenic amines.
