Draft Genome Sequence of Pediococcus pentosaceus MZF16, a Bacteriocinogenic Probiotic Strain Isolated from Dried Ossban in Tunisia

Microbiol Resour Announc. 2019 Apr 25;8(17):e00285-19. doi: 10.1128/MRA.00285-19.

Abstract

Pediococcus pentosaceus strain MZF16 was isolated from dried ossban, a Tunisian dry fermented meat. The MZF16 chromosome consisted of 28 contigs with a total draft genome size of 1,928,373 bp and a G+C content of 37.2%. This is the first genome characterization of a P. pentosaceus strain isolated from traditional Tunisian meat.
