Lactic acid bacteria that inhabit in the lung play important roles in maintaining the microbiome balance by interacting with the host immune system. Numerous metabolites (e.g., short chain fatty acids, bacteriocins, and hydrogen peroxide) produced by Lactobacillus sakei possess a special inhibitory spectrum against invading pathogens. In this research, the whole genome of L. sakei JD10 strain isolated from the porcine lung was sequenced and investigated. The whole size of the L. sakei JD10 chromosome was 1,989,921 bp, which encoded a total of 1951 predicted genes. Genome analyses revealed that many genes encoded carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) were predicted, which were responsible for the carbohydrate degradation and short chain fatty acids production. The metabolic profiles of short chain fatty acids in the L. sakei JD10 culture medium were measured by GC/TOFMS, and their regulatory effects on bacterial phagocytosis of RAW264.7 cells were also determined. The bacteriocin-producing genes of the L. sakei JD10 genome were also predicted, and a bacteriocin gene encoding carnocin was characterized and its molecular structure was analyzed. Two CRISPR-Cas system related genes were identified from the L. sakei JD10 genome, revealed that precise and efficient genome editing technologies could be applied for genetic engineering-manipulation. In all, investigation on the genomic features and metabolic features of L. sakei JD10 showed the potential probiotic traits to fight against pathogenic infection and regulate the host immune function.
