Draft genome sequence data of strain LC2-13A and strain K-13.

To discover more efficient degradation processes of lignocellulosic biomass, it is still important to analyze genomic and enzymatic data from bacteria that have strong xylanolytic ability. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of the xylanolytic bacteria strain LC2-13A and strain K-13 that are closest to sp. strain DA-C8, which has strong xylan degradation ability under anaerobic growth conditions. Whole-genome sequencing on the Ion GeneStudio S5 System yielded 277 contigs with total size 5,305,208 bp and G+C content 52.3 mol% for strain LC2-13A and 115 contigs with total size 4,652,266 bp and G+C content of 56.2 mol% for strain K-13. The LC2-13A genome had 5,744 protein-coding sequences (CDSs), 57 tRNAs, and 4 clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs), and the K-13 genome had 4,388 CDSs, 1 rRNA gene, 45 tRNAs, and 5 CRISPRs. The CDSs of LC2-13A and K-13 encoded the following carbohydrate-active enzymes: 98 and 67 glycoside hydrolases, 31 and 29 glycosyl transferases, 23 and 17 carbohydrate esterases, and 13 and 37 carbohydrate-binding modules, respectively. The whole-genome sequences of LC2-13A and K-13 have been deposited in DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under accession numbers BOVK00000000 and BOVJ00000000. The versions described in this paper are version 1.
