Abstract

Abstract Microvirga lupini LUT6T is an aerobic, non-motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that can exist as a soil saprophyte or as a legume microsymbiont ofLupinus texensis . LUT6T was isolated in 2006 from a nodule recovered from the roots of the annualL. texensis growing in Travis Co., Texas. LUT6T forms a highly specific nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with endemicL. texensis and no otherLupinus species can form an effective nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with this isolate. Here we describe the features ofM. lupini LUT6T, together with genome sequence information and its annotation. The 9, 633, 614 bp improved high quality draft genome is arranged into 160 scaffolds of 1, 366 contigs containing 10, 864 protein-coding genes and 87 RNA-only encoding genes, and is one of 20 rhizobial genomes sequenced as part of a DOE Joint Genome Institute 2010 Community Sequencing Project.
