title: Complete genome anatomy of the emerging potato pathogenDickeya solanitype strain IPO 2222T.
abstract: Several species of the genusDickeyaprovoke soft rot and blackleg diseases on a wide range of plants and crops.Dickeya solanihas been identified as the causative agent of diseases outbreaks on potato culture in Europe for the last decade. Here, we report the complete genome of theD. solaniIPO 2222T. Using PacBio and Illumina technologies, a unique circular chromosome of 4,919,833 bp was assembled. The G + C content reaches 56% and the genomic sequence contains 4,059 predicted proteins. The ANI values calculated forD. solaniIPO 2222Tvs. other availableD. solanigenomes was over 99.9% indicating a high genetic homogeneity withinD. solanispecies.
