Draft genome sequence of Cellulomonas carbonis T26(T) and comparative analysis of six Cellulomonas genomes

Most Cellulomonas strains are cellulolytic and this feature may be applied in straw degradation and bioremediation. In this study, Cellulomonas carbonis T26(T), Cellulomonas bogoriensis DSM 16987(T) and Cellulomonas cellasea 20108(T) were sequenced. Here we described the draft genomic information of C. carbonis T26(T) and compared it to the related Cellulomonas genomes. Strain T26(T) has a 3,990,666 bp genome size with a G + C content of 73.4 %, containing 3418 protein-coding genes and 59 RNA genes. The results showed good correlation between the genotypes and the physiological phenotypes. The information are useful for the better application of the Cellulomonas strains.
