Genome sequence of Herbaspirillum sp. Strain GW103, a plant growth-promoting bacterium

Abstract

Herbaspirillum sp. strain GW103 was isolated from rhizosphere soil of the reed Phragmites australis on reclaimed land. Here we report the 5.05-Mb draft genome sequence of the strain, providing bioinformation about the agronomic benefits of this strain, such as multiple traits relevant to plant root colonization and plant growth promotion. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
