Complete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium sp. Strain VKM Ac-1817D, Capable of Producing 9α-Hydroxy-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione from Phytosterol

Abstract

Mycobacterium sp. strain VKM Ac-1817D is capable of converting phytosterol into 9α-hydroxy androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (9-OH-AD), which is a valuable intermediate for the steroid pharmaceutical industry. Here, a complete genome sequence of the strain is reported. The genome consists of a single circular 6,324,222-bp chromosome with a G+C content of 66.2% and encodes approximately 6,000 CDSs, 54 tRNAs, and 6 rRNAs.
