Draft genome sequence and assembly of a Lysobacter enzymogenes strain with biological control activity against root knot nematodes

Abstract

Lysobacter enzymogenes strain B25, an isolate from an agricultural field, acts as a biological control agent against root knot nematodes in tomato plants. B25 also controls several fungal diseases and promotes plant growth under abiotic stress. We hereby report on the draft genome sequence and assembly of B25.
