Genome Resource Of Sphingomonas Carotinifaciens L9-754(T), An Endophyte Isolated From Leaf Tissues Of Jatropha Curcas

Sphingomonas carotinifaciens strain L9-754(T) (DSM 27347) is a gram-negative, chemo-heterotrophic, and rod-shaped endophyte isolated from the stem tissues of Jatropha curcas L. This strain has putative in vitro antagonistic ability against the plant pathogenic fungus Magnaporthe grisea. A draft genome of L9-754T was obtained using the PacBio SMRT cell platform. By analyzing the genome of strain L9-754T, a gene cluster (GQR91_18700 - GQR91_18715) related to an antioxidant enzyme was identified in the obtained draft genome. The information obtained from the draft genome is expected to reveal the putative properties helpful in biocontrol applications.
