Abstract

The genome of a symbiotically effective salt-tolerant strain, Sinorhizobium meliloti S35m, isolated from alfalfa rhizosphere in soil native to the Caucasus region, was sequenced. Genomic islands, prophages, and elements of a potential CRISPR/Cas I type (Cas3_0_I) system were identified in the genome.
