Draft genome sequence of Gluconobacter frateurii NBRC 103465, a glyceric acid-producing strain

Abstract

Gluconobacter frateurii strain NBRC 103465 can efficiently produce glyceric acid (GA) from raw glycerol feedstock derived from biodiesel fuel production processes. Here, we report the 3.4-Mb draft genome sequence of G. frateurii NBRC 103465. The draft genome sequence can be applied to examine the enzymes and electron transport system involved in GA production.
