Abstract:
In this study, we sequenced the entire genomes of three identified rhizobacterial strains associated with maize plantation. Genome annotation of the sequenced data revealed several putative growth-promoting proteins associated with the production of indoleacetic acids and siderophore, the assimilation of nitrogen, and phosphorus solubilization.
