Lactobacillus and Limosilactobacillus MAGs from alcoholic fermentation in sugarcane biorefineries

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT We recovered and characterized four bacterial MAGs from two Brazilian sugarcane biorefineries, with the aim of investigating the microbial environment during fuel ethanol production. MAGs belonged to Lactobacillus amylovorus and Limosilactobacillus fermentum , both known lactic acid bacterial contaminants. Genomic analyses revealed key functional traits but no resistance or virulence genes.
