Draft genome sequence of Escherichia coli XH001, a producer of L-threonine in industry.

ABSTRACT

L-Threonine has been widely used as a supplement in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Here, we present a high-quality draft annotated genome sequence of Escherichia coli XH001, a producer of L-threonine in industry. Its genome and plasmid sequence will provide clues about the molecular mechanisms underlying its beneficial properties.
