Summary
Lactobacillus curvatus WiKim38 is a potential probiotic strain isolated from kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food. Whole-genome sequencing of L. curvatus WiKim38 was performed using the Pacific Biosciences RS II sequencing platform (Pacific Biosciences, USA) with a 20-kb SMRTbell templates library [3] at ChunLab (Seoul, Republic of Korea), which generated 437,656,916 bp of data (73,573 reads; about 225.58-fold genome coverage). Sequences were assembled using the RS Hierarchical Genome Assembly Process (HGAP) protocol version 3.0, as available in SMRT Analysis software version 2.3.0.
