Complete genome sequence of Leifsonia xyli subsp. cynodontis strain DSM46306, a Gram-positive bacterial pathogen of grasses

Abstract

We announce the complete genome sequence of Leifsonia xyli subsp. cynodontis, a vascular pathogen of Bermuda grass. The species also comprises Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli, a sugarcane pathogen. Since these two subspecies have genome sequences available, a comparative analysis will contribute to our understanding of the differences in their biology and host specificity.
