Genome sequencing is an essential step in bacteriocin research because it provides comprehensive information about the genetic basis of bacteriocin production and regulation. Bacteriocins are encoded by specific gene clusters that include structural genes, modification enzymes, transport systems, and immunity proteins, all of which can be identified through genome analysis. Sequencing allows researchers to detect novel bacteriocin gene clusters, predict their amino acid sequences, and classify them into different groups based on genetic and structural characteristics. Moreover, whole-genome data help elucidate biosynthetic pathways, post-translational modifications, and mechanisms of action, offering valuable insights that guide functional studies and strain engineering. Comparative genomics further enables researchers to differentiate between known and new bacteriocins, while safety evaluation of the producer strain is possible by checking for the presence of virulence or antibiotic resistance genes. Overall, genome sequencing not only accelerates the discovery and characterization of novel bacteriocins but also ensures their safe application in food preservation, agriculture, and medicine.
