title: genome sequence of Leuconostoc mesenteroides: strain FM06
design: Leuconostoc mesenteroides was grown at 25 degrees for 16 hours on MRS. DNA was extracted using the Wizard genomic DNA purification kit of Promega. Paired-end sequence reads were generated using the Illumina HiSeq2500 system. FASTQ sequence files were generated using the Illumina Casava pipeline version 1.8.3. Initial quality assessment was based on data passing the Illumina Chastity filtering. Subsequently, reads containing adapters and/or PhiX control signal were removed. The second quality assessment was based on the remaining reads using the FASTQC quality control tool version 0.10.0. The quality of the Illumina FASTQ sequences was enhanced by trimming off low-quality bases using the Trim sequences option of the CLC Genomics Workbench version 7.0.4
