Complete genome sequence of <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> strain AJ_C_05 with potential characteristics to break down carbohydrates, applicable to livestock industry

<i>Enterococcus faecium</i> strain AJ_C_05 was isolated from a Deonjang, a traditional Korean fermented food made from soybeans, and its complete genome was sequenced using the Oxford MinION platform. The complete genome of <i>E. faecium</i> strain AJ_C_05 has one circular chromosome and two plasmids. The chromosome of <i>E. faecium</i> strain AJ_C_05 consists of 2,623,546 base pairs (bp) with a guanine + cytosine (G+C) content of 38.3%, 2,680 coding sequences, 69 tRNAs, and 18 rRNAs. One plasmid is 164,853 bp long and has a G+C content of 35.5%, and the other plasmid is 11,235 bp long with G+C content of 33.1%. <i>E. faecium</i> strain AJ_C_05 possesses genes for enzyme determinants, such as alpha-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22), beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21), cellulases (EC 3.2.1.4), chitinase (EC 3.2.1.122), proteases (EC 3.4.21.112), and xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8). These characteristics of <i>E. faecium</i> strain AJ_C_05 appears to indicate its potential to be used as probiotic feed additives.
