Abstract

The complete genomic information of Microbacterium aurum KACC 15219T(= IFO 15204T = DSM 8600T) is described. The genome of M. aurum KACC 15219T contains 3,096 protein coding genes and an average G+C content of 69.9% in its chromosome (3.42 Mbp). This strain can use various carbon sources for growth, including quinic acid. Quinic acid is used as a substrate for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids via the shikimate pathway which are useful in the industry. M. aurum KACC 15219T will provide basis to improve our understanding of this organism and allow more efficient application of the strain to industry.
