Draft genome sequence of Brevibacterium linens MA5, an isolate from Danbo cheese that carries the bacteriocin gene cluster

Key Points

The draft genome of Brevibacterium linens MA5 has 3,369 coding sequences and a size of 3.7 Mb.
Genomic comparison shows borderline species-level identity to B. linens ATCC 19391, suggesting relatedness.
Genome mining identified a putative bacteriocin gene cluster, highlighting potential antimicrobial properties.
Isolated from the rind of Danish Danbo cheese, B. linens MA5 has implications for food safety and preservation.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Brevibacterium linens MA5 was isolated from the rind of a Danish Danbo cheese. Its 3.7 Mb draft genome comprises 3,369 CDS, 8 rRNAs, 47 tRNAs, and 3 ncRNAs. Genomic comparison confirmed borderline species-level identity to B. linens ATCC 19391. Genome mining identified a putative bacteriocin gene cluster.
