Bioprospecting of Ribosomally Synthesized and Post-translationally Modified Peptides Through Genome Characterization of a Novel Probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum UTNGt21A Strain: A Promising Natural Antimicrobials Factory.

ABSTRACT: The present work describes the genome sequencing and characterization of a novel Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain assigned UTNGt21A isolated from wild Solanum quitoense (L.) fruits. In silico analysis has led to identifying a wide range of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and metabolic compounds. The genome had a total of 3,558,611 bp with GC of 43.96%, harboring 3,449 protein-coding genes, among which 3,209 were assigned by the EggNOG database, and 240 hypothetical proteins have no match in the BLASTN database. It also contains 68 tRNAs, 1 23S rRNA, 1 16S rRNA, 6 5S rRNA, and 1 tmRNA. In addition, no acquired resistance genes nor virulence and pathogenic factors were predicted, indicating that UTNGt21A is a safe strain. Three areas of interest (AOI) consisting of
