Comprehensive pan‐genome analysis of <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> complete genomes

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive pan-genome analysis of L. plantarum, including the largest number (N = 127) of complete L. plantarum genomes retrieved from publicly available repositories. Our effort aimed to determine a solid reference panel for the future characterization of newly sequenced L. plantarum strains useful as probiotic supplements.
