Comparative Genomics Analysis Provides New Insights into High Ethanol Tolerance of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus LTJ12, a Novel Strain Isolated from Chinese Baijiu.

ABSTRACT: Lactic acid bacteria have received a significant amount of attention due to their probiotic characteristics. The species Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactiplantibacillus pentosus are genotypically closely related, and their phenotypes are so similar that they are easily confused and mistaken. In the previous study, an ethanol-resistant strain, LTJ12, isolated from the fermented grains of soy sauce aroma type baijiu in North China, was originally identified as L. plantarum through a 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Here, the genome of strain LTJ12 was further sequenced using PacBio and Illumina sequencing technology to obtain a better understanding of the metabolic pathway underlying its resistance to ethanol stress. The results showed that the genome of strain LTJ12 wa
