Agrobacterium PDO1-076
Agrobacterium PDO1-076
Rhizobium sp PDO1-076 was isolated from surface sterilized fine root material (< 1 mm diameter) from a Populus deltoides tree on the Oak Ridge Reservation (N 35* 55.325, W 084* 19.424) in March 2009. Fine root material was washed and sterilized using 1% Na hypochlorite, washed again and then isolated strain was isolated on R2A medium by direct plating methods. Genomic DNA was prepared using the QIAGEN G100 kit following the manufacturer’s protocol. A draft genome sequence was determined to provide rapid insight into its metabolic potential
Agrobacterium PDO1-076 is a plant-associated bacterium isolated from fine root material of a Populus deltoides tree.  The strain was isolated on R2A media by direct plating methods from surface sterilized and macerated root tissue and its draft genome sequence is reported.
