Abstract

Weissella koreensis DMW12 was isolated from kimchi added Myeongtae (Theragra chalcogramma), and its complete genome sequence was determined. The complete genome of strain DMW12 includes a single circular 1,518,288-bp chromosome without plasmids. The G+C content of the genome is 35.6 mol%. Although strain DMW12 did not showed protease and lipase activities, the genome includes 33 protease- and 3 lipase-encoding genes. The genome of strain DMW12 does not include acquired antibiotic resistance genes against ampicillin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, tetracycline, and streptomycin.
