Genome sequences of four bacterial strains isolated from the phyllosphere of Mangifera indica trees in the polluted tropical city of Medellín, Colombia

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

The complete and draft genomes of four bacterial strains (Microbacterium radiodurans, Brachybacterium rhamnosum, Sphingomonas citri, and Curtobacterium sp.) isolated from the phyllosphere of urban Mangifera indica trees have been sequenced to provide a resource for studying plant-microbe interactions and microbial mediation of atmospheric pollutants. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Implication

Genomic analysis reports draft and complete sequences of four leaf-associated bacterial strains in Mangifera indica, highlighting their role in mediating atmospheric pollutants.

Abstract

Complete and draft genome sequences of four phyllosphere-associated bacterial strains ( Microbacterium radiodurans , Brachybacterium rhamnosum , Sphingomonas citri , and Curtobacterium sp.) isolated from Mangifera indica leaves in polluted Medellín, Colombia, are presented. These resources enable future studies on plant-microbe interactions and phyllosphere microbial mediation of atmospheric pollutants under urban stress.
