Abstract
Serratia plymuthica AS13 is a plant-associated Gammaproteobacteria, isolated from rapeseed roots. It is of special interest because of its ability to inhibit fungal pathogens of rapeseed and to promote plant growth. The complete genome of S. plymuthica AS13 consists of a 5,442,549 bp circular chromosome. The chromosome contains 4,951 protein-coding genes, 87 tRNA genes and 7 rRNA operons. This genome was sequenced as part of the project entitled “Genomics of four rapeseed plant growth promoting bacteria with antagonistic effect on plant pathogens” within the 2010 DOE-JGI Community Sequencing Program (CSP2010).
Highlights
The members of the genus Serratia are widely distributed in nature
S. plymuthica AS13 was isolated from rapeseed roots from Uppsala, Sweden
Our interest in S. plymuthica AS13 is due to its ability to stimulate rapeseed plant growth and to inhibit soil borne fungal pathogens such as Verticillium dahlia and Rhizoctonia solani [6]
Summary
The members of the genus Serratia are widely distributed in nature. They are commonly found in soil, water, plants, insects, and other animals including humans [1]. Most of them are of interest because of their ability to promote plant growth and inhibit plant pathogenic fungi [2,3,4,5,6]. There are several unidentified plantassociated Serratia strains that have an impact on agriculture by stimulating plant growth and/or inhibiting soil borne plant pathogens [3]. Our interest in S. plymuthica AS13 is due to its ability to stimulate rapeseed plant growth and to inhibit soil borne fungal pathogens such as Verticillium dahlia and Rhizoctonia solani [6]. We present a description of the complete genome of S. plymuthica AS13 and its annotation
