Genome Resource for Pseudomonas sp. Strain L22-9: A Potential Novel Species with Antifungal Activity

Pseudomonas is a complex genus with increasing numbers of new species. Recently, we isolated Pseudomonas sp. strain L22-9, which showed antifungal activity against several fungal phytopathogens. Here, we report the whole genome sequence of strain L22-9. Genomic analysis revealed that strain L22-9 contains one circular DNA chromosome of 6,730,360 bp length with 60.9% GC content. Bioinformatics analysis identified gene clusters in the genome that synthesize antimicrobial metabolites such as 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol synthesis and hydrogen cyanide synthase. Further analysis suggests that strain L22-9 is a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas. This genome would be a valuable resource for future research in phytopathology.
