Draft genome sequence of Curtobacterium sp. strain ER1/6, an endophytic strain isolated from citrus sinensis with potential to be used as a biocontrol agent

Abstract

Herein, we report a draft genome sequence of the endophytic Curtobacterium sp. strain ER1/6, isolated from a surface-sterilized Citrus sinensis branch, and it presented the capability to control phytopathogens. Functional annotation of the ~3.4-Mb genome revealed 3,100 protein-coding genes, with many products related to known ecological and biotechnological aspects of this bacterium.
