BIL20 and BIL24 Assembled, Annotated, and Mapped Genomes

The dataset is featured in the article Beyond Buro, which investigates the probiotic potential of Limosilactobacillus fermentum BIL20 and BIL24 using genomic analysis and probiotic assays. These strains were isolated from burong isda, a traditional fermented fish product from Arayat, Pampanga. The study adds to the limited research from the Philippines that applies genomic analysis and probiotic testing on LAB isolates from fermented foods, revealing their promising probiotic attributes and potential health advantages. The dataset includes genome assemblies, RAST and Prokka annotations, and mapped assemblies locating the probiotic-related genes and their functional categories.
