Xanthomonas hyacinthi strain:CFBP 1156 Genome sequencing
Xanthomonas hyacinthi is a plant pathogenic bacteria that causes yellow disease in the genera Hyacinthus, Scilla and other related  ornamental plant genera. X. hyacinthi was first isolated in 1883 by J.H. Wakker, who was among the first plant pathologists to  recognize bacteria as a possible cause of plant disease. The type strain is CFBP 1156, which is synonymous with strains LMG 739,  NCPPB 599, ICMP 189, ATCC 19314 and DSM 19077. Illumina-based draft genomes of X. hyacinthi were previously provided, but here, we  report the complete genome for X. hyacinthi strain CFBP 1156 which will allow researchers to better understand the biology of yellow  disease of hyacinth.
