Paenibacillus alvei ASP14 Raw sequence reads
This project presents the raw reads of complete genome sequence of Paenibacillus alvei ASP14, isolated from the intestinal tract of a Asian stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis). The rigorous multifaceted bio-safety assessment including in vitro and in vivo concluded ASP14 is a non-virulent, non-pathogenic. Furthermore, this study demonstrated ASP14 showed exceptional resilience to stimulated gastrointestinal conditions. Another notable strength of this study is broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity with ability to produce bacteriocin, siderophore and co-aggregate with pathogens was identified in ASP14. Genomic analysis of this probiotic strain will elucidate the genetic basis for its adaptation to the fish gut environment, mechanisms against pathogens, xenobiotics and safety profile to use as novel antibiotic-alternative in sustainable aquaculture practices.
