title: Draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas corrugata, a phytopathogenic bacterium with potential industrial applications.
abstract: Pseudomonas corrugata was first described as the causal agent of a tomato disease called 'pith necrosis' yet it is considered as a biological resource in various fields such as biocontrol of plant diseases and production of industrially promising microbial biopolymers (mcl-PHA). Here we report the first draft genome sequence of this species.
