Complete Genome Sequence of the Endophytic Bacterium Chryseobacterium indologenes PgBE177, Isolated from Panax quinquefolius

Abstract

Chryseobacterium indologenes PgBE177, isolated from the root tissue of a 4-year-old Panax quinquefolius plant, showed antagonistic activity against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000, a bacterial pathogen. Chryseobacterium indologenes PgBE177, isolated from the root tissue of a 4-year-old Panax quinquefolius plant, showed antagonistic activity against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000, a bacterial pathogen. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of C. indologenes PgBE177. The bacterium contains bacteriocin gene clusters and has the potential to stimulate plant growth.
