Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="fml12357-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p> <italic>Acidomonas methanolica</italic> (former name: <italic>Acetobacter methanolicus</italic>) is a unique acetic acid bacterium capable of growing on methanol as a sole carbon source. We reported the draft genome sequencing of <italic>A. methanolica</italic> type strain MB58, showing that it contains 3270 protein‐coding genes, including the genes involved in oxidation of methanol, such as <italic>mxaFJGIRSACKL</italic> and <italic>hxlAB</italic><italic>, </italic> and oxidation of ethanol, such as <italic>adhAB</italic> and <italic>adhS</italic>.</p> </abstract>
