Draft Genome Sequences of Eight Cultured Bacterial Isolates from Legume Leaf Surfaces.
Epiphytic bacteria growing in communities on leaf surfaces are extremely diverse yet understudied. Additionally, bacteria in the phyllosphere are important not only for plant health, but also cross-Kingdom interactions with pests and beneficial insect species. Here, we present draft genomes of eight epiphytic bacterial species isolated from legume crops that likely interact with herbivorous insects.
