Abstract

Abstract Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.trifolii strain WSM597 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod isolated from a root nodule of the annual cloverTrifolium pallidum L. growing at Glencoe Research Station near Tacuarembó, Uruguay. This strain is generally ineffective for nitrogen (N2 ) fixation with clovers of Mediterranean, North American and African origin, but is effective on the South American perennial cloverT. polymorphum Poir. Here we describe the features ofR. leguminosarum bv.trifolii strain WSM597, together with genome sequence information and annotation. The 7, 634, 384 bp high-quality-draft genome is arranged in 2 scaffolds of 53 contigs, contains 7, 394 protein-coding genes and 87 RNA-only encoding genes, and is one of 20 rhizobial genomes sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute 2010 Community Sequencing Program.
