Draft genome sequence of Chromobacterium subtsugae MWU12-2387 isolated from a wild cranberry bog in Truro, Massachusetts

Abstract

Chromobacterium subtsugae MWU12-2387 was isolated from the rhizosphere of cranberry plants. While it is unknown what environmental role these bacteria play in bog soils, they hold potential as biological control agents against nematodes and insect pests. Potential virulence genes were identified, including the violacein synthesis pathway, siderophores, and several chitinases.
