Abstract

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been reported to possess various beneficial properties and are commonly used as probiotics. LAB play a crucial role in milk fermentation, industrial lactic acid fermentation, and health and medicine. <italic>Limosilactobacillus fermentum</italic> isolated from fermented dairy and food products is considered as ‘Generally Recognized as Safe’ by FDA. <italic>Limosilactobacillus fermentum</italic> plays an important role in modulation of the intestinal microbiota, enhancing the host immune system and improving feed digestibility. We isolated a probiotic candidate that was identified and named <italic>Limosilactobacillus fermentum </italic>JNU532. In a previous report, cell-free culture of <italic>L. fermentum</italic> JNU532 exhibited anti-melanogenic and antioxidant activities. In this study, we present the complete genome assembly of the bacterial strain JNU532. The final genome consists of one circular chromosome (2,077,416 base pairs) with a GC ratio of 51.5%.
