Abstract
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the acetic acid bacterium Glucnobacter thailandicus strain NBRC 3255. The draft genome sequence is composed of 109 contigs in 3,305,227 bp and contains 3,225 protein-coding genes. Two paralogous sets of sldAB operons, which are responsible for dihydroxyacetone production from glycerol, were identified.
Highlights
We report the draft genome sequence of the acetic acid bacterium Glucnobacter thailandicus strain NBRC 3255
Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are obligate aerobic, Gramnegative, rod-shaped bacteria that are well known for their potential to incompletely oxidize a wide variety of sugars, alcohols, and polyols
We report the draft genome sequence of Gluconobacter thailandicus strain NBRC 3255, which was isolated from a strawberry in Japan
Summary
We report the draft genome sequence of the acetic acid bacterium Glucnobacter thailandicus strain NBRC 3255. Members of the genus Gluconobacter, which belongs to the group of acetic acid bacteria, can oxidize a wide range of alcohols, sugars, and sugar alcohols and can accumulate a large amount of the corresponding oxidized products in culture medium [1]. Gluconobacter strains are known as interesting organisms for industrial applications. Industrial fermentation processes, such as the production of L-sorbose (vitamin C synthesis), 6-amino-L-sorbose, and dihydroxyacetone, are carried out by members of this genus.
