Complete Genome Sequence of NBRC 3288, a Unique Cellulose-Nonproducing Strain of <i>Gluconacetobacter xylinus</i> Isolated from Vinegar

Abstract

Gluconacetobacter xylinus is involved in the industrial production of cellulose. We have determined the genome sequence of G. xylinus NBRC 3288, a cellulose-nonproducing strain. Comparative analysis of genomes of G. xylinus NBRC 3288 with those of the cellulose-producing strains clarified the genes important for cellulose production in Gluconacetobacter.
