Abstract

We announce the draft genome sequence of strain B2, which belongs to a potentially new Buttiauxella species, isolated from soil associated with rhizosphere of olivillo trees (Aextoxicon punctatum). Its size is 4,967,099 bp, and its G+C content is 49.1%. The genome of strain B2 carries genes related to rhizobacteria that promote the growth of plants.
