Draft genome sequence of the flocculating Zymomonas mobilis strain ZM401 (ATCC 31822).

Zymomonas mobilis ZM401 is a flocculating strain which can be self-immobilized within fermentors for a high-cell-density culture to improve ethanol productivity, as well as high-gravity fermentation to increase ethanol titer, due to its improved ethanol tolerance associated with the morphological change. Here, we report its draft genome sequence.
