Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequences of strains of Pantoea agglomerans (EKM10T, EKM20T, EKM21T, and EKM22T), Paenibacillus polymyxa (EKM10P and EKM11P), and Pseudomonas sp. strain EKM23D. These microbes were cultured from fresh seed biogels of Cucumis sativus L. (cucumber) and Cucumis melo L. (cantaloupe). The strains suppress the growth of soilborne fungal/oomycete phytopathogens in vitro.
