Genomic insights into Staphylococcus equorum KS1039 as a potential starter culture for the fermentation of high-salt foods.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our previous comparative genomic analysis of Staphylococcus equorum KS1039 with five S. equorum strains illuminated the genomic basis of its safety and salt tolerance. However, a comprehensive picture of the cellular components and metabolic pathways involved in the degradation of macromolecules and development of sensory properties has not been obtained for S. equorum. Therefore, in this study, we examined the general metabolism of S. equorum based on information obtained from published complete genome sequences of six S. equorum strains isolated from different niches. Additionally, the utility of strain KS1039 as a starter culture for high-salt food fermentations was examined.

Results

All six S. equorum strains contained genes involved in glycolysis, the tricarb
