Complete and Draft Genome Sequences of Nine Lactobacillus sakei Strains Selected from the Three Known Phylogenetic Lineages and Their Main Clonal Complexes.

We present here the complete and draft genome sequences of nine strains, selected from the entire range of clonal complexes from the three known lineages of the species. The strains were chosen to provide a wide view of pangenomic and plasmidic diversity for this important foodborne species.
