Abstract
Arthrobacter koreensis 5J12A is a desiccation-tolerant organism isolated from the Nerium oleander rhizosphere. Here, we report its genome sequence, which may shed light on its role in plant growth promotion. This is believed to be the first published genome of a desiccation-tolerant plant growth promoter from the genus Arthrobacter.
Highlights
Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) colonize plants and enhance their growth through different mechanisms, such as by increasing nutrient bioavailability and plant bioassimilation, reducing the effects of soil plant pathogens, producing substances that enhance plant growth, and removing from the soil detrimental molecules, such as toxic compounds that can impair plant growth [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
Several species of the genus Arthrobacter were described as PGPB, including Arthrobacter pascens, Arthrobacter nitroguajacolicus, Arthrobacter nicotinovorans, Arthrobacter humicola, Arthrobacter woluwensis, and Arthrobacter protophormiae to name a few [8,9,10,11,12]
We report the whole-genome sequence of Arthrobacter koreensis 5J12A, obtained with pyrosequencing technology implemented in the 454 Life Science–Roche platform with a combined approach based on shotgun and 8-kb mate pair sequencing (Lifesequencing SL, Valencia, Spain) [18]

With the shotgun sequencing approach, 81,219 sequences were obtained with an average read length of 627 nucleotides.
