Abstract

Abstract Burkholderia mimosarum strain LMG 23256T is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that can exist as a soil saprophyte or as a legume microsymbiont ofMimosa pigra (giant sensitive plant). LMG 23256T was isolated from a nodule recovered from the roots of theM. pigra growing in Anso, Taiwan. LMG 23256T is highly effective at fixing nitrogen withM. pigra . Here we describe the features ofB. mimosarum strain LMG 23256T, together with genome sequence information and its annotation. The 8, 410, 967 bp high-quality-draft genome is arranged into 268 scaffolds of 270 contigs containing 7, 800 protein-coding genes and 85 RNA-only encoding genes, and is one of 100 rhizobial genomes sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute 2010 Genomic Encyclopedia for Bacteria and Archaea-Root Nodule Bacteria (GEBA-RNB) project.
