Abstract
Burkholderia pyrrocinia strain Lyc2 was isolated from the tobacco rhizosphere in China. This bacterium exhibits a remarkable capacity to inhibit the growth of multiple pathogens and shows strong suppression of cotton seedling damping-off. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Burkholderia pyrrocinia strain Lyc2.
Highlights
Burkholderia pyrrocinia strain Lyc2 was isolated from the tobacco rhizosphere in China
The use of Burkholderia strains as living biocontrol agents has been reconsidered, since some Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) isolates are reported to be opportunistic pathogens associated with the human disease cystic fibrosis [8, 9]
BCC strain Lyc2 was isolated from tobacco rhizosphere and identified to be Burkholderia pyrrocinia [10]
Summary
Burkholderia pyrrocinia strain Lyc2 was isolated from the tobacco rhizosphere in China. The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is composed of a group of genetically different but phenotypically similar bacteria [1]. A striking feature of some Burkholderia strains is their production of various antimicrobial compounds, which show great potential in plant disease management [2,3,4,5,6,7]. The use of Burkholderia strains as living biocontrol agents has been reconsidered, since some BCC isolates are reported to be opportunistic pathogens associated with the human disease cystic fibrosis [8, 9].
