Genome sequences of polar Carnobacterium maltaromaticum strains 2857 and 2862 with genes for glycerol and 1,2-propanediol pathways

We report genome sequences of two polar Carnobacterium maltaromaticum strains: 2857 (draft, 3.54 Mb, 34.4% GC) and 2862 (complete, 3.61 Mb, 34.6% GC, five plasmids). Sequencing used Illumina (both) and Nanopore (2862). Genome analysis revealed genes for glycerol conversion to 1,2-propanediol, suggesting potential for sustainable bioprocessing in cold environments.
