Draft Genome Sequence of Methylobacterium mesophilicum Strain SR1.6/6, Isolated from Citrus sinensis

Abstract

Methylobacterium mesophilicum strain SR1.6/6 is an endophytic bacterium isolated from a surface-sterilized Citrus sinensis branch. Ecological and biotechnological aspects of this bacterium, such as the genes involved in its association with the host plant and the primary oxidation of methanol, were annotated in the draft genome.

Draft Genome Sequence of Methylobacterium sp. Strain L2-4, a Leaf-Associated Endophytic N-Fixing Bacterium Isolated from Jatropha curcas L

“…Strain L2-4 possesses a conserved cluster of genes associated with photosynthesis, including genes encoding the light-harvesting complex and the reaction center, and genes involved in biosynthesis of bacteriochlorophyll ( bch ) and carotenoids ( crt ). Further analyses of this genome will include comparisons with other Methylobacterium genomes already reported ( 13 , 17 , 19 – 21 ). The genome of strain L2-4 presents several genes involved in metabolic pathways that may contribute to the promotion of plant growth, including genes for the production of auxin biosynthesis, zeatin ( miaA ), cobalamin synthesis protein ( cob ), urea metabolism ( ureABCDEFG ), biosorption of heavy metals or decrease of metal toxicity, endoglucanase ( celC ), phytase, C-P lyase system ( phn ), pyrroloquinoline quinone biosynthesis protein ( pqqABCDE ), and methylotrophy gene clusters ( mxa ).…”
