title: Draft Genome Sequence of Methylobacterium sp. Strain L2-4, a Leaf-Associated Endophytic N-Fixing Bacterium Isolated from Jatropha curcas L.
abstract: Methylobacterium sp. strain L2-4 is an efficient nitrogen-fixing leaf colonizer of biofuel crop Jatropha curcas. This strain is able to greatly improve the growth and seed yield of Jatropha curcas and is the second reported genome sequence of plant growth-promoting bacteria isolated from Jatropha curcas.
