Abstract

Dysgonomonas species are facultative heterotrophs capable of growth on lignocellulose-derived polysaccharides. Dysgonomonas species harbor myriad genes involved in glycan modification and are well suited to the lignocellulose-rich conditions within the termite hindgut. Here, we report draft genome sequences for Dysgonomonas sp. strains GY75 and GY617, isolated from the hindgut of Reticulitermes flavipes.
