Abstract
ABSTRACTBlood disease bacterium A2 HR-MARDI was isolated from banana plants infected with banana blood disease and which were planted in Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of blood disease bacterium A2 HR-MARDI, which could provide important information on the virulence mechanism of this pathogen.
Highlights
Blood disease bacterium A2 HR-Malaysia Agricultural and Research Development Institute (MARDI) was isolated from banana plants infected with banana blood disease and which were planted in Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia
Gene models of Blood disease bacterium (BDB) A2 HR-MARDI were predicted by using ab initio software Prodigal version 2.60
There were 3,276 predicted coding sequences (CDSs) (Ն30 amino acids [aa]) found in the chromosome, whereas 1,340 CDSs were found in the megaplasmid
Summary
Blood disease bacterium A2 HR-MARDI was isolated from banana plants infected with banana blood disease and which were planted in Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia. Blood disease bacterium A2 HR-MARDI was identified using a bioassay and a pathogenicity test. The identity of this bacterium was confirmed using 16S rRNA gene cloning. The genome was sequenced using PacBio RS II sequencing platform, which generated 2 single-molecule real-time (SMRT) cells of sequencing data of 20 kb.
