Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus sakei LK-145 Isolated from a Japanese Sake Cellar as a High Producer of d-Amino Acids

ABSTRACT This announcement reports the complete genome sequence of strain LK-145 of Lactobacillus sakei isolated from a Japanese sake cellar as a potent strain for the production of large amounts of d-amino acids. Three putative genes encoding an amino acid racemase were identified.
