â¢We sequenced the genome of Stenotrophomonas sp. KCTC 12332, the potential candidates for biotechnological applications bacterium.â¢A complete genome sequence consisting of a circular chromosome of 4,541,594 bp was obtained with a total of 3828 predicted protein coding genes.â¢The gene involved in the biotransformation of fatty acid into hydroxy fatty acid was identified.
Hydroxy fatty acids are used in various industries due to their availability, and in particular, Stenotrophomonas sp. has been regarded as a potential candidate for biotechnological applications, including biotransformation that hydrate unsaturated fatty acids into their derivatives. Here we complete the genome sequence of Stenotrophomonas sp. KCTC 12332 which has a size of 4,541,594Â bp (GÂ +Â C content of 63.83%) with 3790 coding DNA sequences (CDSs), 67 tRNA and 3 rRNA operons. The genome contains gene encoding oleate hydratase that can convert oleic acid into 10-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid.
