Abstract

Abstract Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.trifolii SRDI943 (strain syn. V2-2) is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated from a root nodule ofTrifolium michelianum Savi cv. Paradana that had been grown in soil collected from a mixed pasture in Victoria, Australia. This isolate was found to have a broad clover host range but was sub-optimal for nitrogen fixation withT. subterraneum (fixing 20–54% of reference inoculant strain WSM1325) and was found to be totally ineffective with the clover speciesT. polymorphum andT. pratense . Here we describe the features ofR. leguminosarum bv.trifolii strain SRDI943, together with genome sequence information and annotation. The 7, 412, 387 bp high-quality-draft genome is arranged into 5 scaffolds of 5 contigs, contains 7, 317 protein-coding genes and 89 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.
