Draft genome sequences of a novel <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12 MG1655 L-form strain and its evolved variant
L-forms are bacterial variants capable of proliferating without a cell wall. In this evolution study, we present draft genome sequences of a novel <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12 L-form strain and an evolved variant that exhibits enhanced growth. These draft sequences provide insights into the genetic adaptations associated with cell wall-independent growth.
