Escherichia coli NCM3722 genome sequencing and assembly. Escherichia coli strain:NCM3722

The widely-used E. coli strain MG1655 has several metabolic deficits whose origins do not readily map to loci or operons nominally controlling the related genotype. NCM3722 is a prototrophic K-12 isolate used as a wild-type K-12 strain in the laboratory of Sydney Kustu, Terrance Hwa, Suckjoon Jun, and others.
