Abstract

In this study, the complete genome of <italic>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</italic> strain GA_C_14 was sequenced and analyzed. We isolated the <italic>L. plantarum</italic> strain GA_C_14 from gajami sikhae, the Korean traditional food purchased from a local market in Gangneung, South Korea. The genome of the <italic>L. plantarum </italic>strain GA_C_14 consisted of one circular chromosome (3,196,348bp) with a guanine + cytosine (GC) content of 44.7% and one circular plasmid (40,211bp) with a guanine + cytosine (GC) content of 38.9%. The genome annotation revealed 3,083 protein-coding sequences (CDSs), 67 tRNAs, as well as 16 rRNAs. The <italic>L. plantarum </italic>strain GA_C_14 possesses enzymes involved in vitamin B<sub>6</sub> metabolism, such as <italic>gapB</italic> (EC 1.2.1.12), <italic>SerC</italic> (EC 2.6.1.52), <italic>dxs</italic> (EC 2.2.1.7), <italic>SerA</italic> (EC 1.1.1.95), <italic>PdxK</italic> (EC 2.7.1.35), and <italic>PdxH</italic> (EC 1.4.3.5). Moreover, the <italic>L. plantarum</italic> strain GA_C_14 harbors the beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) enzyme required for synthesizing galactooligosaccharides (GOS). These results suggest that <italic>L. plantarum</italic> strain GA_C_14 could be utilized as a functional probiotic in the swine industry.
