Complete genome anatomy of the emerging potato pathogen type strain IPO 2222.

Several species of the genus provoke soft rot and blackleg diseases on a wide range of plants and crops. has been identified as the causative agent of diseases outbreaks on potato culture in Europe for the last decade. Here, we report the complete genome of the IPO 2222. Using PacBio and Illumina technologies, a unique circular chromosome of 4,919,833 bp was assembled. The G + C content reaches 56% and the genomic sequence contains 4,059 predicted proteins. The ANI values calculated for IPO 2222 vs. other available genomes was over 99.9% indicating a high genetic homogeneity within species.
