Abstract

Variovorax species catabolize a wide range of natural and industrial products and have been shown to be integral rhizosphere inhabitants. Here, we report the complete genomes of V. paradoxus 2u118 and V. sp. SPNA7, which were isolated from alfalfa root nodules and possess plant growth-promoting properties.

Keywords: Variovorax; alfalfa nodule; bioremediation; endophytes; plant growth-promotion.
