Complete Genome Sequence of Mesorhizobium ciceri bv. biserrulae WSM1497, an Efficient Nitrogen-Fixing Microsymbiont of the Forage Legume <i>Biserrula pelecinus</i>

Abstract

We report here the complete genome sequence of <i>Mesorhizobium ciceri</i> bv. biserrulae strain WSM1497, the efficient nitrogen-fixing microsymbiont and commercial inoculant in Australia of the forage legume <i>Biserrula pelecinus</i> The genome consists of 7.2 Mb distributed across a single chromosome (6.67 Mb) and a single plasmid (0.53 Mb).
