title: Draft Genome Sequence and Assembly of Photorhabdus heterorhabditis Strain VMG, a Bacterial Symbiont Associated with the Entomopathogenic Nematode Heterorhabditis zealandica.
abstract: Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Photorhabdus heterorhabditis strain VMG, a symbiont of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis zealandica in South Africa. The draft genome sequence is 4,878,919 bp long and contains 4,023 protein-coding genes. The genome assembly contains 262 contigs with a G+C content of 42.22%.
