Bacillus velezensis strain KMU01 showing γ-glutamyltransferase activity as a probiotic candidate was isolated from kimchi. However, the genetic information on strain KMU01 was not clear. Therefore, the current investigation was undertaken to prove the probiotic traits of B. velezensis strain KMU01 through genomic analysis. Genomic analysis revealed that strain KMU01 did not encode enterotoxin genes and acquired antibiotic resistance genes. Strain KMU01 genome possessed survivability traits under extreme conditions such as in the presence of gastric acid, as well as several probiotic traits such as intestinal epithelium adhesion and the production of thiamine and essential amino acids. Potential genes for human health enhancement such as those for γ-glutamyltransferase, nattokinase, and bacteriocin production were also identified in the genome. As a starter candidate for food fermentation, the genome of KMU01 encoded for protease, amylase, and lipase genes. The complete genomic sequence of KMU01 will contribute to our understanding of the genetic basis of probiotic properties and allow for the assessment of the effectiveness of this strain as a starter or probiotic for use in the food industry.
