Abstract
In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of <italic>Lactiplantibacillus</italic> <italic>plantarum</italic> L55, a probiotic strain of bacteria isolated from kimchi. The genome comprises of one circular chromosome (2,077,416 bp) with a GC content of 44.5%, and two circular plasmid sequences (54,267 and 19,592 bp, respectively). We also conducted a comprehensive analysis of the genome, including the identification of functional genes, genomic islands, and antibiotic resistance genes. The genome sequence data presented in this study provides insights into the genetic basis of <italic>L. plantarum</italic> L55, which could be beneficial for future development of probiotic applications.
