Description
Summary:•We sequenced Gluconacetobacter xylinus E25 – an industrial nanocellulose producer.•There are one megaplasmid (336,138bp), four plasmids and 3.4Mbp chromosome in the genome.•We show similarities between bcs operons between Ga. xylinus and Ga. hansenii strains. This study reports the release of complete genome sequence of the producer of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) – Gluconacetobacter xylinus E25, a vinegar-isolated strain. Preliminary sequence analysis revealed complexity of the genome structure and familiarized genetic basis of productive properties of E25 strain. The genome consists of one chromosome and five plasmids. Whole genome sequencing has opened up new perspectives for further bioinformatics and experimental studies allowing the elucidation of molecular mechanisms responsible for regulation of production of BNC – a valuable biomaterial.
