Abstract

Burkholderia sp. strain BE12, isolated from a French agricultural soil, possesses antifungal activity against a set of phytopathogenic fungi and has friendly interactions with grapevine. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of BE12, along with genes related to plant growth-promoting traits and siderophores that this strain contains, supporting its plant growth and antifungal activities.
