Complete Genome Sequence of Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224, a Host for Bacteriophage Discovery

We report the complete annotated genome sequence of Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224, a type strain isolated from the phyllosphere of grasses and a commonly used host for bacteriophage discovery. The genome contains no identifiable prophage or CRISPR or restriction-modification system, which suggests that it may continue to be a fruitful host for phage discovery.
