Latilactobacillus sakei strain J112

Latilactobacillus sakei strain J112 is a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella. This strain is mesophilic, indicating it thrives at moderate temperatures. It possesses a single replicon and a single membrane, which are typical for many bacterial species. This strain is free-living, which suggests it does not rely on a host organism for its survival and can be found in various habitats. Notably, it has been associated with multiple hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout), Hordeum vulgare (barley), Ovis aries (sheep), and Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon). This broad host range highlights its ecological versatility and potential applications in diverse environments, from food fermentation to aquaculture. The accession number for Latilactobacillus sakei strain J112 is NZ_LT907933.1, which provides a reference for researchers seeking to access genomic information about this strain. Understanding the traits and ecological roles of L. sakei J112 can offer insights into its applications in food science, probiotic development, and environmental microbiology, underlining the importance of microbial diversity and its potential benefits across different ecosystems.
