Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Pediococcus acidilactici RTMP1 isolated from fecal samples of Speckled goats. This bacterium (scaffolds = 54; genome size = 1,973,216 bp; coding sequences = 1,870; N 50 = 59,077; GC content = 42%) encodes for genes attributed to probiotic characteristics.
