Weissella Confusa UTNCys2-2: Genomic and Metabolomic Profiling of a Probiotic Strain

Gabriela N. Tenea published this dataset on figshare in March 2026. It provides genomic and metabolomic data for the lactic acid bacterium Weissella confusa UTNCys2-2, isolated from Amazonian spiral ginger. The dataset includes a 2.32 Mb genome sequence and metabolomic profiles from LC-MS/MS analysis.

Use Cases

• Comparative pangenome analysis based on the strain-specific genes linked to carbohydrate metabolism and EPS production.
• Functional annotation of metabolic pathways based on the KEGG and MetaCyc analyses described.
• Identification of biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites based on the Type III polyketide synthase (T3PKS) cluster.
• Safety assessment of probiotic strains based on the analysis for virulence determinants and antimicrobial resistance genes.

Strengths

• Genome is fully sequenced and assembled into a 2.32 Mb circular chromosome with 2,194 proteins.
• Metabolomic profiling was performed using LC-MS/MS combined with SWATH-MS, a detailed analytical method.
• Functional annotation includes analysis of 118 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a DOCX document, which may require extraction or conversion for computational analysis.
