Analysis of the Genome Architecture of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei UNQLpc 10, a Strain with Oenological Potential as a Malolactic Starter

The Lacticaseibacillus paracasei UNQLpc 10 strain was isolated from a Malbec wine produced in North Patagonia, Argentina, and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. aim of this work to obtain the fully assembled genome strain, analyze its structure, evaluate possible functions predicted genes with regard oenological potential as malolactic starter. UNQLpc10 is first whole an Lcb. reported databases. This information great interest inexpanding knowledge diversity lactic acid bacteria searching for new candidate species/strains design starter cultures. silico genome-wide analysis confirms existence encoding enzymes involved synthesis several metabolites interest, proteins related stress responses. Furthermore, when incubated synthetic wine, it exhibited very good survival L-malic consumption ability.
