Abstract

Abstract Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.trifolii WSM2012 (syn. MAR1468) is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated from an ineffective root nodule recovered from the roots of the annual cloverTrifolium rueppellianum Fresen growing in Ethiopia. WSM2012 has a narrow, specialized host range for N2 -fixation. Here we describe the features ofR. leguminosarum bv.trifolii strain WSM2012, together with genome sequence information and annotation. The 7, 180, 565 bp high-quality-draft genome is arranged into 6 scaffolds of 68 contigs, contains 7, 080 protein-coding genes and 86 RNA-only encoding genes, and is one of 20 rhizobial genomes sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute 2010 Community Sequencing Program.
