Kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, contains many lactic acid bacteria. Leuconostoc mesenteroides KNU-2 strain with low-temperature tolerance and Weissella hellenica MBEL1842 with antibacterial activity were isolated from kimchi. The genomes of L. mesenteroides KNU-2 and W. hellenica MBEL1842 are composed of one circular chromosomal genome of 1,973,419 bp (37.9% G+C content) and 1,887,056 bp (37.9% G+C content), as well as four and one plasmids, respectively, The sequence data of the strains were deposited in GenBank under the accession numbers CP089782 (L. mesenteroides KNU-2) and CP086020 (W. hellenica MBEL1842).
