Abstract
Here we report the whole-genome sequences of three endophytic bacteria, Enterobacter sp. strain DC1, Enterobacter sp. strain DC3, and Enterobacter sp. strain DC4, from root tubers of the yellow yam plant, Dioscorea cayenensis. Preliminary analyses suggest that the genomes of the three bacteria contain genes involved in acetoin and indole-3-acetic acid metabolism.
Highlights
We report the whole-genome sequences of three endophytic bacteria, Enterobacter sp. strain DC1, Enterobacter sp. strain DC3, and Enterobacter sp. strain DC4, from root tubers of the yellow yam plant, Dioscorea cayenensis
To gain some insights into the bacteria that associate with D. cayenensis, we embarked on a project which resulted in the identification of three bacteria from the genus Enterobacter
Plant-associated bacteria that are beneficial to D. cayenensis have the potential to improve crop production
Summary
We report the whole-genome sequences of three endophytic bacteria, Enterobacter sp. strain DC1, Enterobacter sp. strain DC3, and Enterobacter sp. strain DC4, from root tubers of the yellow yam plant, Dioscorea cayenensis. The plant Dioscorea cayenensis, commonly referred to as “yellow yam,” is a staple crop in Jamaica. In addition to being a source of compounds that support growth and development, such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate, and amino acids, the plant accumulates the secondary metabolite compounds polyphenols and tannins, among others, which are used in a range of applications [2]. To gain some insights into the bacteria that associate with D. cayenensis, we embarked on a project which resulted in the identification of three bacteria from the genus Enterobacter.
