Abstract

Bradyrhizobium sp. strains were isolated from root nodules of the Australian legume, Acacia acuminata (Fabaceae). Here, we report the complete genome sequences of four strains using a hybrid long- and short-read assembly approach. The genome sizes range between ∼7.1 Mbp and ∼8.1 Mbp, each with one single circular chromosome. Whole-genome alignments show extensive structural rearrangement.
