title: Genome sequence of Afipia birgiae, a rare bacterium associated with Amoebae.
abstract: Afipia birgiae is an alphaproteobacterium from the family Bradyrhizobiaceae, growing in amoebae, and a potential human pathogen. We sequenced the genome of type strain 34632(T). It is composed of 5,325,467 bp and contains 5,160 protein-coding genes and 53 RNA genes, including 3 rRNA genes.
