Abstract:
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Acetobacter tropicalis are bacterial symbionts commonly isolated from decaying fruits and from the microbiome of Drosophila melanogaster. Studies have shown that these organisms interact synergistically, imparting beneficial effects on the host. Here, we report whole-genome sequences of these microbes obtained from long and short reads.
