title: The draft genome sequence of the plant growth promoting rhizospheric bacteriumEnterobacter cloacaeSBP-8.
abstract: Here, we report the draft genome sequence and annotation of plant growth promoting rhizobacteriumEnterobacter cloacaeSBP-8 isolated from the rhizosphere ofSorghum bicolorL. growing in desert region of Rajasthan, India. From the genome sequences, we identified the genes encoding plant growth promoting properties such as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (AcdS), phosphate solubilisation, siderophore, and IAA (indole acetic acid) production. The genes encoding different functions required for colonization including motility, chemotaxis, adherence, and secretion system (I, II, IV, VI) were also identified. The complete genome sequence of this bacterium consists of one chromosome (48,54,065 bp) and one plasmid (85,398). The genome sequence ofEnterobacter cloacaeSBP-8 was deposited in the Genbank with the accession number CP016906 (chromosome) and CP017413 (plasmid).
