Genome sequence of the biocontrol agent Microbacterium barkeri Strain 2011-R4

Abstract

Microbacterium barkeri strain 2011-R4 is a Gram-positive epiphyte which has been confirmed as a biocontrol agent against several plant pathogens in our previous studies. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of this strain, which was isolated from the rice rhizosphere in Tonglu city, Zhejiang province, China. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
