Weissella koreensis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, nonmotile, and facultative anaerobic species belonging to the lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The members of this species have been repeatedly isolated from kimchi (a traditional Korean fermented food) and are known for their beneficial effects on human and animal intestinal microflora through producing various clinically important amino acids such as γ-aminobutyric acid and ornithine. Here we report the genome sequence of the type strain of W. koreensis (KCTC 3621(T)) to provide taxonomic and functional insights into the species.
韩国魏斯氏菌是一种革兰氏阳性、杆状、非运动性、兼性厌氧的乳酸菌属（LAB）物种。该物种的成员已多次从泡菜（一种传统的韩国发酵食品）中分离出来，因其通过产生各种临床上重要的氨基酸（如γ-氨基丁酸和鸟氨酸）对人和动物肠道微生物群产生有益影响而闻名。在这里，我们报告了 W. koreensis（KCTC 3621（T））的模式菌株的基因组序列，以提供该物种的分类学和功能见解。
