Draft genome sequence of Gluconobacter oxydans WSH-003, a strain that is extremely tolerant of saccharides and alditols

Abstract

Gluconobacter oxydans is known for its incomplete oxidation of a wide range of alcohols, sugars, and acids in a bioprocess. The corresponding oxidation products are secreted almost completely into the medium. Here, we present the high-quality draft genome sequence of G. oxydans WSH-003, an industrial strain with both high L-sorbose productivity and extreme tolerance to saccharides and alditols. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
