# Complete genome sequences of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strains E and E11.5 isolated from dairy products

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequences of two Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strains from dairy products in Finland and Ethiopia.

## Contribution

The study provides complete genome sequences of two newly isolated L. paracasei strains.

## Key findings

- Both strains have approximately 3 Mb chromosomes.
- The strains contain several plasmids in addition to their chromosomes.

## Abstract

Lacticaseibacillus paracasei is a lactic acid bacterium commonly present in various dairy products and known to have probiotic properties. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two L. paracasei strains isolated from dairy products in Finland and Ethiopia. Both strains contain about 3 Mb chromosomes with several plasmids.
