Abstract
Gluconobacter oxydans is characterized by its ability to incompletely oxidize carbohydrates and alcohols. The high yields of its oxidation products and complete secretion into the medium make it important for industrial use. We report the finished genome sequence of Gluconobacter oxydans H24, an industrial strain with high l-sorbose productivity.
Highlights
Gluconobacter oxydans is characterized by its ability to incompletely oxidize carbohydrates and alcohols
This bacterium has a number of membrane-bound dehydrogenases involved in many oxidation reactions, which bring about the incomplete oxidation of sugars, alcohols, and acids
The complete genome sequence of G. oxydans H24 was determined at the Beijing Genome Institute (BGI) (Shenzhen, China) using Solexa technology
Summary
Gluconobacter oxydans is characterized by its ability to incompletely oxidize carbohydrates and alcohols. Gluconobacter oxydans is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the family Acetobacteraceae. Owing to its incomplete oxidation and almost complete secretion, G. oxydans is widely used in industrial production [1]. Gluconobacter oxydans H24, used in the industrial production of vitamin C in China, is responsible for the oxidization of D-sorbitol into L-sorbose.
