Abstract

Isolates of the lactic acid bacterium Leuconostoc citreum are a major part of fermentation processes, especially in Korean kimchi. Here, we present the genome of L. citreum DmW_111, isolated from wild Drosophila melanogaster; analysis of this genome will expand the diversity of genome sequences for non-Lactobacillus spp. isolated from D. melanogaster.
