Abstract

Klebsiella oxytoca strain SA2 is an endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from the pioneer grass Psammochloa villosa, which grows in the moving sand dunes of Ordos Plateau, China. The SA2 genome sequence provides the genetic background for understanding its endophytic lifestyle and survival in association with grass in nitrogen-poor environments.

Highlights

  • Klebsiella oxytoca strain SA2 is an endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from the pioneer grass Psammochloa villosa, which grows in the moving sand dunes of Ordos Plateau, China

  • K. oxytoca strain SA2 was isolated from roots of the pioneer grass Psammochloa villosa, which grows in the moving sand dunes of Ordos Plateau, China [6]

  • A draft genome containing 72 contigs was obtained based on the strain KCTC 1686 genome

Summary

Introduction

Klebsiella oxytoca strain SA2 is an endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from the pioneer grass Psammochloa villosa, which grows in the moving sand dunes of Ordos Plateau, China. Some K. oxytoca strains are known due to their roles in biofuel production (e.g., K. oxytoca strain KCTC 1686 [4]) and biological nitrogen fixation (e.g., K. oxytoca strain M5a1 [5]). K. oxytoca strain SA2 was isolated from roots of the pioneer grass Psammochloa villosa, which grows in the moving sand dunes of Ordos Plateau, China [6].
