Draft genome sequences of the biocontrol bacterium Mitsuaria sp. strain H24L5A

Abstract

Mitsuaria sp. strain H24L5A is a plant-associated bacterium with proven capacities to suppress plant pathogens. Here, we report the draft genome sequences and automatic annotation of H24L5A. Comparative genomic analysis indicates H24L5A's similarity to the Leptothrix and Methylibium species, as well as several genes potentially contributing to its biocontrol activities. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
