Abstract
We report here the draft genome sequence of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain HHCA, collected from a lemon tree in California. The HHCA strain has a genome size of 1,150,620 bp, 36.5% G+C content, 1,119 predicted open reading frames, and 51 RNA genes.

We report here the draft genome sequence of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain HHCA, collected from a lemon tree in California
For the benefit of HLB research and control, this study sequenced the whole genome of the California strain of “Ca. L. asiaticus,” designated strain HHCA
DNA extract of strain HHCA was provided by Plant Pest Diagnostics Center, California Department of Food and Agriculture, with the estimate of 175 pg of “Ca. L. asiaticus” DNA per l
Summary
We report here the draft genome sequence of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain HHCA, collected from a lemon tree in California. C“ andidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” is an unculturable, phloemlimited, alphaproteobacterium associated with citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating citrus disease worldwide [1, 2]. “Ca. L. asiaticus” has been reported in several southern states of the United States. In 2012, “Ca. L. asiaticus” was detected in a single lemon tree in Hacienda Heights of Los Angeles County, California [5]. The infected tree was quickly removed, and no other “Ca. L. asiaticus”-infected citrus trees have been found in California.
