Draft Genome Sequence of Leuconostoc citreum CW28 Isolated from Pozol, a Pre-Hispanic Fermented Corn Beverage

ABSTRACT Leuconostoc citreum CW28 was isolated from pozol, a Mayan fermented corn beverage. This strain produces a cell-associated inulosucrase, the first described in bacteria. Its draft genome sequence, announced here, has an estimated size of 1.98 Mb and harbors 1,915 coding genes, 12 rRNAs, 68 tRNAs, 17 putative pseudogenes, and 1 putative phage.
