Comparative genomics of food-derived probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum K25 reveals its hidden potential, compactness, and efficiency.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the intricate genetic makeup of the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum K25 strain by conducting a comprehensive analysis of comparative genomics. The results of our study demonstrate that the genome exhibits a high-level efficiency and compactness, comprising a total of 3,199 genes that encode proteins and a GC content of 43.38%. The present study elucidates the evolutionary lineage of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains through an analysis of the degree of gene order conservation and synteny across a range of strains, thereby underscoring their closely interrelated evolutionary trajectories. The identification of various genetic components in the K25 strain, such as bacteriocin gene clusters and prophage regions, highlights its potential utility
