Draft genome sequence of <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> LAB20 isolated from the gut of silver therapon ( <i>Leiopotherapon plumbeus</i> ), a probiotic candidate with anti- <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i> activity
ABSTRACT Gut-associated lactic acid bacteria are promising candidates for aquaculture probiotics. Here, we present the draft genome of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LAB20 from silver therapon ( Leiopotherapon plumbeus ). Genomic features supporting adhesion, stress tolerance, and antimicrobial activity against Vibrio parahaemolyticus were identified, although further studies are needed to evaluate safety.
