Genome Announc. 2015 Jun 4;3(3):e00570-15. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00570-15.

Abstract

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a phytopathogenic bacterium that causes crown gall disease. The strain Ach5 was isolated from yarrow (Achillea ptarmica L.) and is the wild-type progenitor of other derived strains widely used for plant transformation. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium.
