Abstract

Abstract Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.trifolii strain TA1 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that is an effective nitrogen fixing microsymbiont on the perennial clovers originating from Europe and the Mediterranean basin. TA1 however is ineffective with many annual and perennial clovers originating from Africa and America. Here we describe the features ofR. leguminosarum bv.trifolii strain TA1, together with genome sequence information and annotation. The 8, 618, 824 bp high-quality-draft genome is arranged in a 6 scaffold of 32 contigs, contains 8, 493 protein-coding genes and 83 RNA-only encoding genes, and is one of 20 rhizobial genomes sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute 2010 Community Sequencing Program.
