Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum strain NTOU1 has the ability to utilize several kinds of sugars in lignocellulosic biomass to produce ethanol more efficiently than other bacteria. Here, we report the draft genome sequence and annotation of this strain, which may provide insights into the possible genes and metabolic pathways related to ethanol production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
