Abstract

The complete genome sequence of the candidate probiotic strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum FNZ042 was determined using a hybrid genome assembly comprising data from Illumina and PacBio sequencing platforms. The genome assembly comprised 3,265,637 bp, including the complete circular chromosome and three circular plasmids.

Keywords: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum FNZ042; bioinformatics; genomics; probiotics.
