Abstract

We disclosed the complete genome sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum B253, an important lysine-producing strain in China. The genome consists a circular chromosome (3,159,203bp) and a plasmid (24,775bp), encoding 2767 protein coding genes in total. The genome contains all genes for lysine biosynthesis, and some mutations potentially relevant to lysine production were detected in comparison with sequence of other C. glutamicum.

Keywords: Complete genome DNA sequence; Corynebacterium glutamicum B253; Lysine.
