Draft Genome Sequences of Two Desiccation-Tolerant Strains, Bradyrhizobium Japonicum TXVA and TXEA, Isolated from the Root Nodules of Soybean Grown in Texas

Two Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains, TXVA and TXEA, were isolated for their desiccation tolerance and symbiotic performance with soybean as biofertilizers. Their genomes were sequenced and annotated using the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute annotation pipeline. Sequencing yielded chromosomes of 9,193,770 and 9,339,455 bp for TXVA and TXEA, respectively.
