Genome sequence of Leuconostoc mesenteroides LK-151 isolated from a Japanese sake cellar as a high producer of D-amino acids

Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of strain LK-151 of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, which was isolated from a Japanese sake cellar and has the potential to produce large amounts of D-amino acids, namely, D-Ala and D-Glu. The genome contains 4 genes related to D-amino acid production.
