Comparative Genomics Reveals Genetic Diversity and Variation in Metabolic Traits in Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis Strains.

ABSTRACT: Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis is a significant and dominant bacterial species of sourdough microbiota from ecological and functional perspectives. Despite the remarkable prevalence of different strains of this species in sourdoughs worldwide, the drivers behind the genetic diversity of this species needed to be clarified. In this research, 14 F. sanfranciscensis strains were isolated from sourdough samples to evaluate the genetic diversity and variation in metabolic traits. These 14 and 31 other strains (obtained from the NCBI database) genomes were compared. The values for genome size and GC content, on average, turned out to 1.31 Mbp and 34.25%, respectively. In 45 F. sanfranciscensis strains, there were 162 core genes and 0 to 51 unique genes present in each
