# Draft whole-genome sequence of Pediococcus pentosaceus GS4, a potential probiotic strain isolated from Indian fermented food

## TL;DR

This paper presents the whole-genome sequence of a potential probiotic strain, Pediococcus pentosaceus GS4, isolated from an Indian fermented food.

## Contribution

The study provides the first whole-genome sequence of Pediococcus pentosaceus GS4, a probiotic strain from Indian fermented food.

## Key findings

- The genome of P. pentosaceus GS4 is 1.6 Mb in size.
- The genome has been assembled and annotated for further research.

## Abstract

Pediococcus pentosaceus GS4 is a gram-positive potential probiotic strain isolated from Indian food, Khadi. The probiotic potential of GS4 is evidenced by published research works in vitro and in mice. Here, we report the 1.6 Mb assembly and annotation of the whole-genome sequence of P. pentosaceus GS4.
