Complete genome sequence of plant growth promoting Pseudomonas aeruginosa AJ D 2 an isolate from monocropic cotton rhizosphere

Abstract

A plant growth promoting Pseudomonas aeruginosa AJD 2 was isolated from monocropic cotton rhizosphere of Maharashtra state, India. The strain was identified as per physiological, biochemical and 16S rRNA gene sequencing (Accession number MG234531). The strain possess multiple functional plant growth promoting traits and antifungal activity. The genome was extracted, purified and library of avg.515 bp was prepared and sequenced by over Illumina platform. The sequenced genome was studied by using CLC workbench and NCBI pipeline using Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa YL84 as reference assembler. The size of the genome is 6.1 Mb with 5802 genes within it. The study over strain may give an insight into its plant growth promotion mechanism
