AI Article Synopsis
- Burkholderia sp. strain WSM4176 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from the root nodules of Lebeckia ambigua in South Africa, notable for its effective nitrogen-fixing capabilities.
- This plant species thrives in harsh, infertile sandy soils, making it a promising candidate for sustainable agriculture in Western Australia.
- The genome of Burkholderia sp. strain WSM4176 is detailed, comprising over 9 million base pairs, with thousands of protein-coding and RNA-only genes, contributing to research under the GEBA-RNB project.
Article Abstract
Burkholderia sp. strain WSM4176 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated from an effective N2-fixing root nodule of Lebeckia ambigua collected in Nieuwoudtville, Western Cape of South Africa, in October 2007. This plant persists in infertile, acidic and deep sandy soils, and is therefore an ideal candidate for a perennial based agriculture system in Western Australia. Here we describe the features of Burkholderia sp. strain WSM4176, which represents a potential inoculant quality strain for L. ambigua, together with sequence and annotation. The 9,065,247 bp high-quality-draft genome is arranged in 13 scaffolds of 65 contigs, contains 8369 protein-coding genes and 128 RNA-only encoding genes, and is part of the GEBA-RNB project proposal (Project ID 882).
