Abstract
Bacteria of the genus Burkholderia are commonly found in diverse ecological niches in nature. We report here the draft genome sequence of Burkholderia cordobensis type strain LMG 27620, isolated from agricultural soil in Córdoba, Argentina. This strain harbors several genes involved in chitin utilization and phenol degradation, which make it an interesting candidate for biocontrol purposes and xenobiotic degradation in polluted environments.
Highlights
Bacteria of the genus Burkholderia are commonly found in diverse ecological niches in nature
Several Burkholderia species have been isolated from diverse ecological niches, such as agricultural soils, root nodules, the gut microbiota of insects, contaminated soils, endophytes of leaves or plant roots, and the interior of spores or fungi mycelia, indicating the wide versatility of this genus [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
It was previously shown that B. cordobensis YI23 and Burkholderia sp
Summary
Bacteria of the genus Burkholderia are commonly found in diverse ecological niches in nature. The Burkholderia genus comprises Ͼ80 validly described species, isolated from diverse niches in nature. Species within the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) are mainly recognized as opportunistic pathogens of cystic fibrosis or immunocompromised patients [1, 2]. Several Burkholderia species have been isolated from diverse ecological niches, such as agricultural soils, root nodules, the gut microbiota of insects, contaminated soils, endophytes of leaves or plant roots, and the interior of spores or fungi mycelia, indicating the wide versatility of this genus [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. The whole-genome shotgun sequencing of Burkholderia cordobensis type strain LMG 27620, isolated from an agricultural soil in Córdoba Province, Argentina, was performed [13].
