Limosilactobacillus fermentum is an isolate obtained from oral gingival samples of healthy human individuals. The whole genome of Lb. fermentum GD5MG is composed of a circular DNA molecule containing 1,834,134 bp and exhibits a GC content of 52.80 %. The sequencing effort produced 38.6 million reads, each 150 bp in length, resulting in a sequencing depth of 2912.48x. Our examination unveiled a total of 1961 protein-coding genes, 27 rRNA genes, 24 tRNA genes, 3 non-coding RNA genes, and 63 pseudogenes with the use of gene annotations in NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation tool. RAST revealed 1863 coding genes distributed across 209 subsystems, with a predominant involvement in amino acid, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism. Phylogenetic analysis infers that the Lb. fermentum GD5MG shares 281 gene clusters. Furthermore, the genome features showed a single CRISPR locus of 45 bp in length. Three genes associated with adhesion ability (strA, dltD, and dltA) and 26 genes related to acid tolerance, digestive enzyme secretion, and bile salt resistance were identified. Numerous genes associated with oral probiotic properties, comprising adhesion, acid and bile salt tolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, and sugar metabolism, were identified in the genome. Our findings shed light on the genomic characteristics of Lb. fermentum GD5MG, which are probable probiotics with functional benefits in humans.
