The study presents the full genome sequence of the rhizobial strain R31, which is widely used as a commercial inoculant for chickpeas in Argentina.
The genome has a total size of 7.25 Mb and is organized into four circular parts, including one main chromosome and three smaller plasmids.
The main chromosome measures 6.72 Mb, while the plasmids are sized at 0.29 Mb, 0.17 Mb, and 0.07 Mb, respectively.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of R31, a rhizobial strain recommended and used as a commercial inoculant for chickpea in Argentina. The genome consists of 7.25 Mb, distributed into four circular replicons: a chromosome of 6.72 Mbp and three plasmids of 0.29, 0.17, and 0.07 Mbp.
