Abstract

A draft genome for Corynebacterium afermentans LCDC 88-0199(T) was investigated. The size of the genome was 2,345,615 bp with an observed G+C content of 64.85%. Annotation revealed 2 rRNA sequences, 54 tRNA genes, and 2,164 coding sequences. Genome coverage was 85× and consisted of 24 contigs with an N50 of 187,988 bp.
