Genome sequence of the Lebeckia ambigua-nodulating ' Burkholderia sprentiae' strain WSM5005.

' Burkholderia sprentiae' strain WSM5005 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated in Australia from an effective N-fixing root nodule of Lebeckia ambigua collected in Klawer, Western Cape of South Africa, in October 2007. Here we describe the features of ' Burkholderia sprentiae' strain WSM5005, together with the genome sequence and its annotation. The 7,761,063 bp high-quality-draft genome is arranged in 8 scaffolds of 236 contigs, contains 7,147 protein-coding genes and 76 RNA-only encoding genes, and is one of 20 rhizobial genomes sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute 2010 Community Sequencing Program.
