Genome sequence of Sphingomonas elodea ATCC 31461, a highly productive industrial strain of gellan gum

Zhonghui Gai et al. J Bacteriol. 2011 Dec.

Abstract

The commercial gelling agent gellan gum is a heteropolysaccharide produced by Sphingomonas elodea ATCC 31461. However, the genes involved in the biosynthesis, regulation, and modification of gellan gum have not been fully characterized. Here we describe the draft genome sequence of stain ATCC 31461 and major findings from its annotation.
