Key Points

The study aims to characterize the draft genome sequences of six Azospirillum argentinense strains for their potential in promoting plant growth.
Sequenced the genomes of six Azospirillum argentinense strains isolated from maize and sorghum in Brazil.
Identified strains based on their diazotrophic capabilities.
Draft genome sequences show genetic potential for bioinoculant applications in sustainable agriculture.

Implication

This report presents draft genome sequences of Azospirillum strains to explore their bioinoculant potential for crops.

Abstract

This report presents draft genome sequences of six Azospirillum argentinense strains (CMS1626, CMS1630, CMS05, CMS07, CMS11, and CMS18) isolated from maize rhizosphere soil or from sorghum stems grown on oxisols in the Brazilian Cerrado. These diazotrophic strains are promising bioinoculants for sustainable agriculture.
