Genome Sequence of Leuconostoc mesenteroides LK-151 Isolated from a Japanese Sake Cellar as a High Producer of d-Amino Acids.

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.
