Abstract
Serratia plymuthica are plant-associated, plant beneficial species belonging to the family
Enterobacteriaceae. The members of the genus Serratia are ubiquitous in nature and their life
style varies from endophytic to free-living. S. plymuthica AS9 is of special interest for its ability to inhibit fungal pathogens of rapeseed and to promote plant growth. The genome of S.
plymuthica AS9 comprises a 5,442,880 bp long circular chromosome that consists of 4,952
protein-coding genes, 87 tRNA genes and 7 rRNA operons. This genome is part of the project
entitled “Genomics of four rapeseed plant growth promoting bacteria with antagonistic effect
on plant pathogens” awarded through the 2010 DOE-JGI Community Sequencing Program
(CSP2010).
