Accession numbers NC_014621, NC_014625, NC_014626
Background Ketogulonicigenium vulgare (strain Y25) is a facultative anaerobic, non-motile Gram-negative bacterium isolated from soil. It has ovoid to rod-shaped cells. The optimum temperature range is between 27-29 degrees Celsius. K.vulgare is able to oxidize L-sorbose to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (in mixed culture fermentation with Bacillus species 8), a key intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin C. Four genes encoding sorbose dehydrogenase are found in the chromosome, and every one could transform L-sorbose into 2-keto-gulonic acid and required pyrroloquinoline quinine for the prosthetic groups in vitro. K.vulgare is known as a 2-keto-L-gulonic acid producing strain from sorbose in vitamin C industry. (Adapted from PMID: 21037005). (EBI Integr8)
