The draft genome sequences of five Lactobacillus pentosus strains isolated from biofilms on the skin of green table olives are presented here. These genome sequences will assist in revealing the potential probiotic properties of these strains, as the intake of fermented olives implicates the passage of millions of Lactobacillus spp. throughout a consumer's gastrointestinal tract. ; This work was funded by the Junta de Andalucía through the P11-AGR-7051 project and by the Spanish Government through MICIIN projects AGL2013-48300-R/ALI (OliFilm project: www.olifilm.science.com.es) and BFU2016-77297-P.
14 Páginas, 14 Tablas, 5 Figuras ; Candida boidinii is an Ascomycota yeast with important biotechnological applications. In this paper we present the genome sequencing and annotation of eight strains of this species isolated from human activities and wild environments. The produced assemblies revealed several strain specific features in terms of genomic GC content (ranging from 30.9 to 32.7%), genome size (comprised between 18,791,129 and 19,169,086 bp) and total number of protein coding genes (ranging from 5819 to 5998), with putative assignation to their general KOG functional categories. The obtained data underlined the presence of two different groups for this species. The results reported herein provide new insights into the plasticity of the genome of this yeast species and represent a starting point for further studies in view of its biotechnological applications ; The research leading to these results has received funding from the Spanish Government (project OliFilm AGL-2013-48300-R: www.olifilm.science.com.es), and Junta de Andalucía (through financial support to project P11-AGR-7051 and groups AGR-125 and BIO-160). ABC and FNAL wish to express thanks to the Spanish Government for their pre-doctoral fellowship and postdoctoral research contract (Ramón y Cajal), respectively, while BCD is a recipient of a pre-doctoral grant from Junta de Andalucía. CP gratefully acknowledges Sardinia regional Government for the financial supporter of her PhD scholarship (POR Sardegna FSE OP European Social Fund 2007/2013 – Axis IV Human Resources, Objective 1.3, Line of activity 1.3.1) and the Foundation of Sardinia (Prat. 2013.1364) for financial support. ; Peer reviewed

Here, we report the genome sequences of six Lactobacillus pentosus strains isolated from traditional noninoculated Spanish-style green table olive brines. The total genome sizes varied between 3.77 and 4.039 Mbp. These genome sequences will assist in revealing the genes responsible for both technological and probiotic properties of these strains. ; The Junta de Andalucía supported this study through the P11-AGR-7051 project and the Spanish Government through MICIIN projects AGL2013-48300-R/ALI (OliFilm project) and BFU2016-77297-P.
