Abstract

We report the complete and annotated genome sequence of a Gram-positive bacterium, Leifsonia sp. strain PS1209, a potato endophyte that was isolated from apparently healthy tubers of potato cultivar NY166. The circular genome is 4,091,164 bp long, with a GC content of 69.08%, containing 3,926 genes.
