Abstract

Leuconostoc suionicum and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides are important lactic acid bacteria identified in rotted tissues of roots in the field and stored sugar beets. Here, we announce the genomes of L. suionicum and L. pseudomesenteroides, isolated from post-harvest sugar beet roots from Idaho and Minnesota.

Keywords: Leuconostoc; root rot; storage; sugar beet.
