Gluconobacter oxydans strain:NL71 Genome sequencing and assembly. Gluconobacter oxydans strain:NL71

Gluconobacter oxydans NL71, a selected strain in the crude lignocellulosic hydrolysate, catalyzed 600 g/L xylose to 586.3 g/L xylonic acid at 95.1% yield. The biocatlysis of xylose yielded 3 times higher than the best previous output, providing a possibility of the industrial scale utilization of lignocellulosic xylose. Due to the industrial value of G.oxydans NL71, we sequenced the complete genome of this strain to further our understanding of its overall metabolism.
