Whole-Genome Sequences of Five Geobacillus stearothermophilus Strains Isolated from Processing Lines of Powdered Infant Formula

초록

Geobacillus stearothermophilus is the thermophile present in processing lines of powdered infant formula (PIF). We report the whole-genome sequences of G. stearothermophilus strains isolated from work-in-process products (sterilized and concentrated milk) of manufacturing plants. Understanding the genomic basis governing the metabolism of G. stearothermophilus can contribute to the safety management of PIF during its manufacture.
