Abstract

Pseudomonas corrugata was first described as the causal agent of a tomato disease called 'pith necrosis' yet it is considered as a biological resource in various fields such as biocontrol of plant diseases and production of industrially promising microbial biopolymers (mcl-PHA). Here we report the first draft genome sequence of this species.

Keywords: Biocontrol agent; Cyclic lipopeptides; Plant pathogen; Quorum sensing; mcl-PHA.
