Key Points

To sequence and assemble draft genomes of 14 bacterial isolates derived from the rhizosphere of bioenergy sorghum (Sorghum bicolor).
Sampled and cultured bacterial isolates from the rhizosphere soil of bioenergy sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench).
Performed genomic sequencing and assembly to generate draft genomes across multiple distinct bacterial genera.
Assembled draft genome sequences for 14 distinct bacterial strains from sorghum rhizosphere soil.
Classified the isolates into 12 distinct genera: Acidovorax, Nocardioides, Agrobacterium, Peribacillus, Caulobacter, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Sphingomonas, Priestia, Dyadobacter, Roseomonas, and Bacillus.
