ABSTRACT

Lactobacillus helveticus D75 and D76 were isolated from the intestinal tract of a healthy child. Both strains possess symbiotic, probiotic, and antagonistic activities. We have sequenced and annotated the whole genomes of L. helveticus D75 and D76 and have conducted a preliminary genome comparative analysis.

GENOME ANNOUNCEMENT

Lactobacillus helveticus D75 and D76 have pronounced fermentative and probiotic activities (1). It was important to have information that was as complete as possible about the genomes of L. helveticus strains D75 and D76 to understand the mechanisms of regulation of their probiotic activity and syntrophic interactions.

L. helveticus D75 and D76 were grown on de Man-Rogosa-Sharpe (MRS) medium (2) at 37°C up to the mid-exponential-growth phase. The modified method of cell lysis of Gram-positive bacteria and the conventional method of DNA extraction with organic solvents were used to obtain the chromosomal DNA (3). The cell lysis consisted of two phases. Initially, a Tris-EDTA buffer containing mutanolysin (final concentration, 300 U/ml) and lysozyme (final concentration, 2 mg/ml) was added to the cell pellet, and the resulting mixture was incubated at 37°C for 1 h. Then, a solution containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (final concentration, 1.5%) and proteinase K (final concentration, 1 mg/ml) was added, and the mixture was incubated at 50°C for 1 h.

Both genomic DNAs were sequenced using the PacBio RS II platform (Macrogen, Inc., Republic of Korea) (4–7). Genome libraries consisting of 150,292 and 166,471 reads with N50 values of 22,778 bp and 10,700 bp were obtained for L. helveticus D75 and D76, respectively. The HGAP algorithm in the SMRT Analysis pipeline version 2.3.0 was used to assemble the genomes of L. helveticus D75 and D76 from PacBio RS raw reads (8). The lengths of the whole genomes obtained were 2,053,066 bp (with 422× read multiplicity) and 2,058,319 bp (with 375× read multiplicity) for the L. helveticus D75 and D76 strains, respectively.

The genome annotations of L. helveticus D75 and D76 were done using the Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) algorithm of the National Center for Biotechnological Information (NCBI) (9). The annotated genome of L. helveticus D75 contained 2,092 coding sequences (CDS), with 1,693 protein-coding genes, 64 tRNA genes, and 15 rRNA genes. The total number of pseudogenes was 317. L. helveticus D76 includes 2,068 CDS, with 1,986 protein-coding genes, 64 tRNA genes, and 15 rRNA genes. The total number of pseudogenes was 265. The BLASTn algorithm was applied for preliminary genome comparative analysis of L. helveticus D75 and D76 with the genomes of L. helveticus DPC4571 and L. helveticus R0052, which were annotated and deposited in GenBank (10, 11). The L. helveticus D75 and D76 strains had 99.18% identity (90.65% coverage) and 97.73% identity (80.45% coverage) to the genomes of the DPC4571 and R0052 strains, respectively.

Calculating the average nucleotide identity (ANI) (12–14) showed that the genome sequences of L. helveticus D75 and D76 were 99.22% identical (with 76.3% coverage of the genome) to the genomes of L. helveticus species. Therefore, D75 and D76 strains, previously attributed to L. acidophilus species (based both on phenotype and 16S rRNA genetic analysis), were reclassified as L. helveticus D75 and D76.

Accession number(s).These whole-genome shotgun projects have been deposited in DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession no. CP020029 (L. helveticus D75) and CP016827 (L. helveticus D76). The versions described in this paper are the first versions.
