Genome sequence of Serratia plymuthica strain S13, an endophyte with germination- and plant-growth-promoting activity from the flower of Styrian oil pumpkin

Abstract

The bacterium Serratia plymuthica strain S13 was demonstrated to colonize various plant-associated microhabitats and to suppress damping-off diseases. The completed genome sequence has a size of 5.5 Mb, containing 4,957 putative proteinencoding regions, and will be used to identify genetic determinants enabling the bacterium to escort a plant's entire life cycle.
