Abstract
'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' is the unculturable causative agent of citrus huanglongbing disease. Here, we report the first citrus root metagenome sequence containing the draft genome of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strain AHCA17, obtained from a pummelo tree in California. The assembled genome was 1.2 Mbp and resulted in 37 contigs (N50 = 158.7 kbp) containing 1,057 predicted open reading frames and 45 RNA-coding genes. This draft genome will provide a valuable resource in further study of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' genome diversity and pathogen epidemiology.
