Among 40 strains of Lactobacilli isolated from the faeces of healthy humans, Lactobacillus fermentum HFD1 exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against various nosocomial pathogens. The genome of L.fermentum HFD1 was sequenced on Illumina MiSeq and ONT MinION instruments. After reads assembly 2 circular contigs with respective sizes of 2101878 bp and 5386 bp have been obtained. The raw reads alignment with BWA and post-assembly assessment showed that 99.9% of Illumina reads and 99.2% of MinION reads were mapped to assembled genome. The genome was read with 575x coverage for Illumina data and 454x coverage for MinION data. Based on genome alignment L. fermentum FTDC8312 was found as closest related strain. The BLAST search identified the short contig as similar to bacterophage phiX174. In the genome 2120 coding sequences (CDS) were predicted. Among them 606 were annotated as hypothetical without known biological role. By using CAMPr3, ADAM and AMPA services 5 CDSs with highest summary prediction score were identified as coding for antimicrobial peptides. Further validation of their antimicrobial activity in vitro is required.
