Complete Genome Sequence Data of Nonpathogenic and Nonantagonistic Strain of Rhizobium vitis VAR06-30 Isolated From Grapevine Rhizosphere.

Rhizobium (Agrobacterium) is one genus in the family Rhizobiaceae. Most of the species are epi- or endophytic bacteria which include tumorigenic or rhizogenic pathogens, root nodule bacteria, and commensal endosymbionts. Rhizobium vitis strain VAR06-30 is a commensal bacterium without pathogenicity which was isolated from a rootstock of grapevine in Japan. It also does not have antagonistic activity to the pathogenic strain of R. vitis. Here, we show the complete genome sequence data with annotation of R. vitis VAR06-30 which was analyzed by sequence reads obtained from both PacBio and Illumina platforms. This genome sequence would contribute to the understanding of evolutionary lineage and characteristics of Rhizobium commensal bacteria.[Formula: see text] Copyright © 2020 The Author(s).
