Abstract
Burkholderia stabilis LA20W produces trehalose using levulinic acid (LA) as a substrate. Here, we report the 7.97-Mb draft genome sequence of B. stabilis LA20W, which will be useful in investigations of the enzymes involved in LA metabolism and the mechanism of LA-induced trehalose production.
Highlights
Burkholderia stabilis LA20W produces trehalose using levulinic acid (LA) as a substrate
Of the diverse chemicals other than sugars that can be synthesized from cellulose, levulinic acid (LA) is a promising building block for chemical production
We identified a treZ gene, which encodes maltooligosyl trehalose trehalohydrolase (TreZ)
Summary
Burkholderia stabilis LA20W produces trehalose using levulinic acid (LA) as a substrate. The most abundant nonedible biomass resource, is important for the synthesis of many bio-based chemicals [1]. Of the diverse chemicals other than sugars that can be synthesized from cellulose, levulinic acid (LA) is a promising building block for chemical production. We isolated and identified LAutilizing bacteria [5, 6], including Burkholderia stabilis LA20W.
