Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Recently, the Gram-negative bacterium Klebsiella oxytoca has been identified as an emerging pathogen. Here we report the draft genome of a 2,3-butanediol-producing strain, K. oxytoca CCTCC M207023, isolated from soil in Nanjing, China. The tetracycline-resistant phenotype and the high yield of 2,3-butanediol was demonstrated. METHODS: The draft genome of K. oxytoca CCTCC M207023 was determined using an Illumina NovaSeq™ 6000 next-generation DNA sequencing platform. Clean sequencing data were subsequently assembled using SOAPdenovo. RESULTS: The draft genome of K. oxytoca CCTCC M207023, comprising 5 658 144bp and with a GC content of 56.50%, was assembled into 5262 open-reading frames (ORFs). Antimicrobial resistance genes were also annotated. CONCLUSIONS: The draft genome sequence of K. oxytoca CCTCC M207023 reported here will be a reference for comparative analysis with the antimicrobial resistance mechanisms for the safety of 2,3-butanediol industrial production.
