Abstract
Mycobacterium sp. strain JC1 DSM 3803 is one of the few known bacteria predicted to possess the xylulose monophosphate (XuMP) pathway of C1 assimilation. The draft genome is 7,921,603 bp with a GC content of 66.88% and will allow more in-depth investigation of this bacterium's unique metabolism.
Highlights
Further work dissecting the complex metabolism of this bacterium may reveal the reasons for such a diversity of methylotrophic pathways in a single organism

Summary
Received 26 February 2021 Accepted 14 April 2021 Published 13 May 2021 mra.asm.org 1 While previous work could not detect any RuMP activity (2), there are homologs of both 3-hexulose-6-phosphate synthase (JNN96_36860) and 6-phospho-3-hexuloisomerase (JNN96_36865) in the genome, suggesting that the bacterium may be able to utilize the RuMP pathway under certain conditions.
