Abstract

The draft genome sequences of three lactic acid bacteria, namely, Limosilactobacillus reuteri 92071, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 92117-i3, and Limosilactobacillus fermentum 92072, and the presence of genes involved in the biosynthesis of B vitamins were determined. Limosilactobacillus reuteri 92071 showed complete gene clusters for vitamin B₁₂ biosynthesis, with a GC content of 38.52 mol%.
