Abstract
We report here the draft genome sequence of Burkholderia gladioli strain NGJ1. The strain was isolated from healthy rice seeds and exhibits broad-spectrum antifungal activity against several agriculturally important pathogens, including Rhizoctonia solani, Magnaporthe oryzae, Venturia inaequalis, and Fusarium oxysporum.
Highlights
We report here the draft genome sequence of Burkholderia gladioli strain NGJ1
Burkholderia spp. are rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria found in diverse habitats
Some of them are reported to be pathogenic to plants and humans; a few plant growth-promoting, endophytic, and antifungal strains with potential biocontrol activity have been reported [1,2,3,4,5]
Summary
We report here the draft genome sequence of Burkholderia gladioli strain NGJ1. The strain was isolated from healthy rice seeds and exhibits broad-spectrum antifungal activity against several agriculturally important pathogens, including Rhizoctonia solani, Magnaporthe oryzae, Venturia inaequalis, and Fusarium oxysporum. Burkholderia spp. are rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria found in diverse habitats. Some of them are reported to be pathogenic to plants and humans; a few plant growth-promoting, endophytic, and antifungal strains with potential biocontrol activity have been reported [1,2,3,4,5]. We have isolated a yellow-pigmented bacterium from surfacesterilized healthy IR64 rice seeds, which demonstrated broadspectrum antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani (the causal of sheath blight disease of rice), Magnaporthe oryzae (the rice blast pathogen), Venturia inaequalis (the apple scab pathogen), Fusarium oxysporum (vascular wilt pathogen), and several other fungal pathogens.
