“…Up to now, 192 L. plantarum strains with complete genome sequences and 539 L. plantarum strains with draft genome sequences have been deposited in the NCBI database. cps gene clusters located in chromosomes are found in 43 L. plantarum strains, and the genetic organizations of the gene clusters were further characterized in 12 strains, L. plantarum WCFS1, ZJ316, ST-III, NC8, JDM1, P8, 16, SF2A35B, Lp90, LTC-113, SN35N, and K25 ( 16 , 20 , 21 ). Furthermore, plasmid-borne cps gene clusters have been found in 10 L. plantarum strains, L. plantarum ZJ316, 16, C410L1, HFC8, LZ227, TMW1.1623, ZJ102, LTC-113, SN35N, and K25 ( 16 , 20 , 21 ).…”
