title: Draft Genome Sequence of Gluconobacter oxydans NL71, a Strain That Efficiently Biocatalyzes Xylose to Xylonic Acid at a High Concentration.
abstract: Gluconobacter oxydans NL71, a selected strain in the crude lignocellulosic hydrolysate, catalyzed 600 g/liter xylose to 586.3 g/liter xylonic acid at 95.1% yield. The biocatalysis of xylose yielded three times higher than the best previous output, providing a possibility of the industrial scale utilization of lignocellulosic xylose. Due to its promising industrial applications, we sequenced the complete genome of strain G. oxydans NL71 to further our understanding of its overall metabolism.
