Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca ARS-38, a Bacterial Strain with Plant Growth Promotion Potential, Isolated from the Rhizosphere of Cotton in Pakistan

Abstract

Strain ARS-38 is a potential plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium that exhibits antifungal properties. Here, we report a 6.6-Mb draft genome, which gives insight into the complete secondary metabolite production capacity and reveals genes putatively responsible for its antifungal activity, as well as genes which contribute to plant growth promotion.Strain ARS-38 is a potential plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium that exhibits antifungal properties.
