    Loigolactobacillus coryniformis is a member of lactic acid bacteria isolated from various ecological niches. We isolated a novel L. coryniformis strain FOL-19 from artisanal Tulum cheese and performed the whole-genome sequencing for FOL-19 using Illumina NextSeq. Then, genomic characterization of FOL-19 against ten available whole genome sequences of the same species isolated from kimchi, silage, fermented meat, air of cowshed, and dairy was performed. The average genome size of 2.93 ±0.1 Mb, GC content of 42.96% ±0.002, number of CDS of 2905 ±165, number of tRNA of 56 ±10, and number of CRISPR elements of 6.55 ±1.83 was achieved. Both Type I and II Cas clusters were observed in L. coryniformis. Only one strain (CECT 5711) was predicted to encode a Carnocin CP52 bacteriocin gene cluster. The presence of CRISPR elements and Cas clusters suggests that L. coryniformis holds a promising potential for being a reservoir for new CRISPR-based tools. These findings put a step forward for the genomic characterization of L. coryniformis strains for biotechnological applications via genome-guided strain selection to identify industrially relevant traits.
