Genome Sequence of Paenibacillus polymyxa ATCC 12321, a Promising Strain for Optically Active (R,R)-2,3-Butanediol Production.

ABSTRACT: Paenibacillus polymyxa is a potential strain for (R,R)-2,3-butanediol production. Here, we report an annotated draft genome sequence of P. polymyxa strain ATCC 12321, which contains 4,429 protein-coding genes and 49 structural RNAs. This genome sequence provides a genetic basis for a better understanding of the mechanism for the accumulation of highly optically active (R,R)-2,3-butanediol.
