Draft Genome Sequence of the Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterium Klebsiella sp. Strain KBG6.2, Imparting Salt Tolerance to Rice

Abstract

Klebsiella sp. strain KBG6.2 is a potential salt-tolerant, plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium isolated from a rice field in Konark, Odisha, India. Here, we report the whole-genome sequencing of Klebsiella sp. strain KBG6.2, which has a 5.038-Mb genome containing 4,867 predicted protein-coding sequences and 79 RNA genes.
