Abstract

Pantoea ananatis 1.38 is a strain isolated from the rhizosphere of irrigated rice in southern Spain. Its genome was estimated at 4,869,281 bp, with 4,644 coding sequences (CDSs). The genome encompasses several CDSs related to plant growth promotion, such as that for siderophore metabolism, and virulence genes characteristic of pathogenic Pantoea spp. are absent.
