Complete Genome Sequence of Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. <i>mesenteroides</i> Strain J18, Isolated from Kimchi

Abstract

Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides is one of the most predominant lactic acid bacterial groups during kimchi fermentation. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of L. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides J18, which was isolated from kimchi. The genome of the strain consists of a 1,896,561-bp chromosome and five plasmids.
