Complete Genome Sequence of Rahnella aquatilis MEM40, a Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterium Isolated from Rice Rhizosphere Soil, with Antagonism against Magnaporthe oryzae and Fusarium graminearum

Abstract

Rahnella aquatilis strain MEM40 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) with antagonism against Magnaporthe oryzae and Fusarium graminearum that was isolated from rice rhizosphere soil in Hubei, China. Here, we report its complete genome sequence, which will increase our understanding of the mechanisms of plant growth promotion and biocontrol.
