Genome sequence of the plant-growth-promoting bacterium EU07 Open Access

Abstract

Many Gram-positive spore-forming rhizobacteria of the genus show potential as biocontrol biopesticides that promise improved sustainability and ecological safety in agriculture. Here, we present a draft-quality genome sequence for EU07, which shows growth-promotion in tomato plants and biocontrol against head blight. We found that the genome of EU07 is almost identical to that of the commercially used strain QST713, but identified 46 single-nucleotide differences that distinguish these strains from each other. The availability of this genome sequence will facilitate future efforts to unravel the genetic and molecular basis for EU07's beneficial properties.
