Key Points

  • The draft genome of Brevibacterium linens MA5 has 3,369 coding sequences and a size of 3.7 Mb.
  • Genomic comparison shows borderline species-level identity to B. linens ATCC 19391, suggesting relatedness.
  • Genome mining identified a putative bacteriocin gene cluster, highlighting potential antimicrobial properties.
  • Isolated from the rind of Danish Danbo cheese, B. linens MA5 has implications for food safety and preservation.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Brevibacterium linens MA5 was isolated from the rind of a Danish Danbo cheese. Its 3.7 Mb draft genome comprises 3,369 CDS, 8 rRNAs, 47 tRNAs, and 3 ncRNAs. Genomic comparison confirmed borderline species-level identity to B. linens ATCC 19391. Genome mining identified a putative bacteriocin gene cluster.
