Genome sequences of five Lactobacillaceae strains reveal their role in traditional pickles and possible probiotic benefits.
We report the draft genome sequences of five strains isolated from a seasoning liquid of Hiroshimana old pickle. The strains were identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Pediococcus ethanolidurans, Pediococcus parvulus, and Companilactobacillus alimentarius . These strains may contribute to the taste of traditional Japanese pickle and have the potential to provide probiotic benefits.
