Abstract
Burkholderia species are key players in the accumulation of carbon from cellulose decomposition in coniferous forest ecosystems. We report here the draft genome of Burkholderia sordidicola strain S170, containing features associated with known genes involved in plant growth promotion, the biological control of plant diseases, and green remediation technologies.
Highlights
Burkholderia species are key players in the accumulation of carbon from cellulose decomposition in coniferous forest ecosystems
Many Burkholderia species are well known for their metabolic capabilities, which can be exploited for biotechnological purposes, such as the biological control of plant diseases (6), nodulation and plant growth promotion (7), and bioremediation (8)
B. sordidicola strain S170 was isolated from the topsoil of an unmanaged acidic coniferous forest dominated by spruce (Picea abies)
Summary
Burkholderia species are key players in the accumulation of carbon from cellulose decomposition in coniferous forest ecosystems. It was first isolated from the white rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida (1) and later found in the rhizosphere (2) and mycosphere of soils (3), plant roots (4), and root nodules (5). Many Burkholderia species are well known for their metabolic capabilities, which can be exploited for biotechnological purposes, such as the biological control of plant diseases (6), nodulation and plant growth promotion (7), and bioremediation (8).
