Plain language summary
The paper announces the availability of the whole genome sequence of a soil bacterial species, Citrobacter freundii strain A47. The genome sequence is expected to be useful in obtaining novel gene(s) that responsible for the detoxification of the fungal toxin deoxynivalenol (DON).
Abstract
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Citrobacter freundii strain A47 with a length of 4,878,242 bp, which contains 4,357 putative protein coding genes, including 270 unique genes. This work is expected to assist in obtaining novel gene(s) that code for deoxynivalenol (DON) de-epoxidation enzyme(s).
