Genome Sequence of Oenococcus oeni OM27, the First Fully Assembled Genome of a Strain Isolated from an Italian Wine

Abstract

Oenococcus oeni OM27 is a strain selected from “Nero di Troia” wine undergoing spontaneous malolactic fermentation. “Nero di Troia” is a wine made from “Uva di Troia” grapes, an autochthonous black grape variety from the Apulian region (south of Italy). In this paper we present a 1.78-Mb assembly of the O. oeni OM27 genome, the first fully assembled genome of an O. oeni strain from an Italian wine.

“…Finally, considering the importance of assuring the safety of starter cultures in order to exert correct biocontrol, it is important to underline that the increasing number of complete genome sequences of wine-related microorganisms (Bartowsky & Borneman, 2011;Lamontanara et al, 2014;Campbell-Sills et al, 2015) represents a considerable tool to assess the safety traits of industrial strains (Salvetti et al, 2016).…”

“…Therefore, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms related to the stress tolerance of O. oeni is important for the selection of strains as culture starters ( 4 , 5 ). Genome sequences of several O. oeni strains are available in the GenBank database, with the O. oeni PSU-1 genome being the only complete sequence reported ( 6 – 8 ). Comparative studies show genetic variation among strains with differences in sugar utilization, amino acid and exopolysaccharide biosynthesis, bacteriophages, and plasmids presence.…”

Genome Sequences of Five Oenococcus oeni Strains Isolated from Nero Di Troia Wine from the Same Terroir in Apulia, Southern Italy

“…While the only fully complete genome sequence is available for the O. oeni PSU-1 strain ( 9 ), an increasing number of O. oeni assembled genome sequences also have been deposited in the GenBank database ( 10 – 12 ). Moreover, for O. oeni strain ATCC BAA-1163, a proteome reference map is also available, which is useful for the validation of annotated genes ( 13 ).…”
