Future studies will focus on delineating the interactions between the host and P. pentosaceus. The genome sequences of P. pentosaceus LI05 isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract allow for a deeper understanding of its probiotic abilities, facilitating the future development of drugs for microbiota-related diseases.Availability of supporting dataThe whole-genome sequencing project of P. pentosaceus LI05 has been submitted to GenBank under the project accession number PRJNA237570. The project version entailing the draft assembly described herein has been deposited under the accession number JDVW00000000.Lv et al.
