AI Article Synopsis

  • Agrobacterium tumefaciens F2 is a bacterium known for its ability to produce bioflocculants effectively.
  • The specific genes involved in the metabolic pathway for bioflocculant synthesis in this strain are currently not understood.
  • This research presents the draft genome of A. tumefaciens F2, which may help reveal the biosynthetic mechanisms behind its polysaccharide-like bioflocculant production.

Article Abstract

Agrobacterium tumefaciens F2 is an efficient bioflocculant-producing bacterium. But the genes related to the metabolic pathway of bioflocculant biosynthesis in strain F2 are unknown. We present the draft genome of A. tumefaciens F2. It could provide further insight into the biosynthetic mechanism of polysaccharide-like bioflocculant in strain F2.
