Complete genome sequence resource of Pseudomonas koreensis FP1691, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium isolated from cowpea

Pseudomonas koreensis is a notable colonizer that acts as a PGPR and as an extensive significance in soil health improvement, sustainable agricultural practices, and maintenance of rhizospheric microbial diversity. Here, we reported a high-quality genome information of P. koreensis FP1691, isolated from cowpea rhizosphere. The genome was assembled into a single circular chromosome of 6.30 Mb with a G+C content of 60.23%. FP1691 was predicted to contain 5,548 genes, including 642 genes related to general function prediction only, 535 genes associated with amino acid transport and metabolism, and 119 genes linked to secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport, and catabolism. Furthermore, there are twelve secondary metabolite gene clusters in the FP1691 genome, including a potential biosynthetic gene cluster responsible for lokisin synthesis exhibited more than 95% identity with the known clusters. Therefore, we inferred that the synthesis of antimicrobial peptides is an important mechanism of FP1691 as an invaluable resource for biocontrol agents.
