Draft genome sequence of dihydroxyacetone-producing Gluconobacter thailandicus strain NBRC 3255

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.
