Complete genomic sequence and phylogenomics analysis of Agrobacterium strain AB2/73: a new Rhizobium species with a unique mega-Ti plasmid

Abstract

The comparative genomics analysis of the high quality genome of strain AB2/73 provided insight into the unusual phylogeny and genetic composition of the limited host range Agrobacterium strain AB2/73. The description of its unique genomic composition and of all the virulence determinants in pTiAB2/73 will be an invaluable tool for further studies into the special host range properties of this bacterium.
