Complete genome sequences of Rhizobium favelukesii strains T136, T1470, and T1473 from Canada

Key Points

To determine the complete genome sequences of Rhizobium favelukesii strains T136, T1470, and T1473 and analyze their genetic features.
Isolated strains from root-nodules of Medicago and Melilotus.
Performed genome sequencing to obtain complete genome structures.
Analyzed chromosomal and plasmid compositions.
Each genome is approximately 4.2 Mb in size with four to seven plasmids ranging from 0.01 to 1.99 Mb.
Identified predicted nodulation and nitrogen-fixation genes in the genomes.
No predicted type III secretion system genes were found in any of the strains.

Abstract

ABSTRACT We report complete genome sequences of Rhizobium favelukesii strains T136, T1470, and T1473 isolated from root-nodules of Medicago and Melilotus . Each genome comprises a chromosome (~4.2 Mb) and four to seven plasmids (~0.01–1.99 Mb) and contains predicted nodulation and nitrogen-fixation genes but lacks predicted type III secretion system genes.
