ABSTRACT
Here we report the whole genome sequence of Lactobacillus fermentum HFD1 strain, the producer of antibacterial peptides. The genome consists of one circular chromosome with 2101878 bp in length and GC-content of 51.8%, and includes linear DNA with 5386 bp in length with 100% identity to bacteriophage phiX174. The analysis of the genome has revealed 2049 genes encoding for proteins including 867 proteins without known function and 70 genes encoding for RNAs (10 rRNAs, 59 tRNAs and 1 tmRNA). Putative genes responsible for the biosynthesis of 4 antimicrobial peptides were identified. The NCBI Bioproject has been deposited at NCBI under the accession number PRJNA615901 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA615901/) and consist of full annotated genome and raw sequence data.
