Complete Genome Sequence of the Ethanol Producer Zymomonas mobilis NCIMB 11163.

Zymomonas mobilis is an ethanol-producing alphaproteobacterium currently considered a major candidate organism for bioethanol production. Here we report the finished and annotated genome sequence of Z. mobilis subsp. mobilis strain NCIMB 11163, a British ale-infecting isolate. This is the first Z. mobilis strain whose genome, chromosomal and plasmid, is presented in its entirety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
