Comparative Genomics of Pediococcus pentosaceus Isolated From Different Niches Reveals Genetic Diversity in Carbohydrate Metabolism and Immune System.

ABSTRACT: Pediococcus pentosaceus isolated from fermented food and the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and animals have been widely identified, and some strains have been reported to reduce inflammation, encephalopathy, obesity and fatty liver in animals. In this study, the genomes of 65 P. pentosaceus strains isolated from human and animal feces and different fermented food were sequenced and comparative genomics analysis was performed on all strains along with nine sequenced representative strains to preliminarily reveal the lifestyle of P. pentosaceus, and investigate the genomic diversity within this species. The results reveal that P. pentosaceus is not host-specific, and shares core genes encoding proteins related to translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis
