# Genome sequences of polar Carnobacterium maltaromaticum strains 2857 and 2862 with genes for glycerol and 1,2-propanediol pathways

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequences of two cold-adapted bacteria that can convert glycerol into 1,2-propanediol, useful for bioprocessing in cold environments.

## Contribution

The study identifies genes for glycerol and 1,2-propanediol pathways in polar Carnobacterium maltaromaticum strains.

## Key findings

- Genome sequences of two Carnobacterium maltaromaticum strains were obtained using Illumina and Nanopore sequencing.
- The strains contain genes for converting glycerol to 1,2-propanediol, indicating potential for sustainable bioprocessing in cold environments.

## Abstract

We report genome sequences of two polar Carnobacterium maltaromaticum strains: 2857 (draft, 3.54 Mb, 34.4% GC) and 2862 (complete, 3.61 Mb, 34.6% GC, five plasmids). Sequencing used Illumina (both) and Nanopore (2862). Genome analysis revealed genes for glycerol conversion to 1,2-propanediol, suggesting potential for sustainable bioprocessing in cold environments.
