RESUMEN
The whole genome sequence (WGS) of Bacillus coagulans BCP92 is reported along with its genomic analysis of probiotics and safety features. The identification of bacterial strain was carried out using the 16S rDNA sequencing method. Furthermore, gene-related probiotic features, safety assessment (by in vitro and in silico), and genome stability were also studied using the WGS analysis for the possible use of the bacterial strain as a probiotic. From the BLAST analysis, bacterial strain was identified as Bacillus (Heyndrickxia) coagulans. WGS analysis indicated that the genome consists of a 3 475 658 bp and a GC-content of 46.35%. Genome mining of BCP92 revealed that the strain is consist of coding sequences for d-lactate dehydrogenase and l-lactate dehydrogenases, 36 genes involved in fermentation activities, 29 stress-responsive as well as many adhesions related genes. The genome, also possessing genes, is encoded for the synthesis of novel circular bacteriocin. Using an in-silico approach for the bacterial genome study, it was possible to determine that the Bacillus (Heyndrickxia) coagulans strain BCP92 contains genes that are encoded for the probiotic abilities and did not harbour genes that are risk associated, thus confirming the strain's safety and suitability as a probiotic to be used for human application.
