Pediococcus pentosaceus Genome sequencing and assembly
This BioProject presents genomic data of Pediococcus pentosaceus strain ATABAY-TRPp01, a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic lactic acid bacterium commonly found in fermented foods and plant-based materials. P. pentosaceus is recognized for its role in lactic acid production, contribution to food preservation, and its ability to produce antimicrobial compounds such as pediocins, which enhance food safety and stability.The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive genomic characterization of strain ATABAY-TRPp01 to support future research on its carbohydrate metabolism, stress adaptation mechanisms, antimicrobial compound production, and its technological performance in food fermentations. Additionally, this BioProject aims to explore its potential applications in functional foods, starter culture development, and industrial biotechnology.
