Genome sequence of Pantoea ananatis strain CFH 7-1, which is associated with a vector-borne cotton fruit disease

Abstract

Pantoea ananatis is a bacterium with versatile niches that vary from pathogenic to beneficial. We present the genome of strain CFH 7-1, which was recovered from a diseased greenhouse cotton boll previously caged with a field-collected cotton fleahopper (Pseudatomoscelis seriatus). These data will assist in deciphering the infection process.
