Complete Genome Sequence of "Candidatus Sulcia muelleri" ML, an Obligate Nutritional Symbiont of Maize Leafhopper (Dalbulus maidis)

Abstract

"Candidatus Sulcia muelleri" is a symbiont of sap-feeding insects in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha. The strain "Ca. Sulcia muelleri" ML is associated with the maize leafhopper (Dalbulus maidis), collected in Brazil, which is a disease vector that affects corn production. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium.
