Abstract

Zymomonas mobilis subsp. mobilis is an efficient ethanol producer with application for industrial production of biofuel. To supplement existing Z. mobilis genomic resources and to facilitate genomic research, we used Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing to assemble the complete genome of the beer spoilage isolate Z. mobilis subsp. mobilis strain NRRL B-1960.
