Endophytic Klebsiella variicola KvMx2 and Klebsiella pneumoniae KpMx1 isolates obtained from the same sugarcane stem were used for whole-genome sequencing. The genomes revealed clear differences in essential genes for plant growth, development, and detoxification, as well as nitrogen fixation, catalases, cellulases, and shared virulence factors described in the K. pneumoniae pathogen.
