Complete Genome Sequence of Enterobacter sp. Strain R4-368, an Endophytic N-Fixing Gammaproteobacterium Isolated from Surface-Sterilized Roots of Jatropha curcas L.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enterobacter sp. strain R4-368 is one of the few characterized Jatropha endophytic diazotrophic bacteria and was isolated from surface-sterilized roots. This bacterium shows strong growth-promoting effects, being able to increase plant biomass and seed yields. Enterobacter sp. R4-368 is the second fully sequenced diazotrophic Enterobacter species. The sequence information shall facilitate the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of plant growth promotion, nitrogen fixation in nonlegume plant species, and evolution of biological nitrogen fixation systems.

Improvement of plant growth and seed yield in Jatropha curcas by a novel nitrogen-fixing root associated Enterobacter species
BACKGROUND Jatropha curcas L. is an oil seed producing non-leguminous tropical shrub that has good potential to be a fuel plant that can be cultivated on marginal land. Due to the low nutrient content of the targeted plantation area, the requirement for fertilizer is expected to be higher than other plants. This factor severely affects the commercial viability of J. curcas. RESULTS We explore...

BACKGROUND Jatropha curcas L. (Jatropha) is a potential biodiesel crop that can be cultivated on marginal land because of its strong tolerance to drought and low soil nutrient content. However, seed yield remains low. To enhance the commercial viability and green index of Jatropha biofuel, a systemic and coordinated approach must be adopted to improve seed oil and biomass productivity. Here, we...

متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Endophytic Bacterium Enterobacter asburiae PDA134, Isolated from Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Roots
In this report, a draft of the Enterobacter asburiae strain PDA134 genome was sequenced. This bacterial strain was isolated from the root tissue of a date palm, where it has the ability to produce 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) under salinity stress.
