Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum ATCC 39048 was originally isolated in the 1980s and studied because it produced the β-lactam antibiotic 1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid. The draft genome for this strain was 4,637,928 bp with a G+C content of 51.98%. The genome contained the carbapenem biosynthetic cluster, genes encoding plant virulence determinants, and a single metallo-β-lactamase.
