Abstract

The draft genome sequences of plant-associated Rhodococcus spp. from Tunisia are reported here. Two Rhodococcus fascians strains were obtained from almond rootstocks, and one Rhodococcus kroppenstedtii strain was obtained from a pistachio tree. The fourth Rhodococcus sp. strain was isolated from an ornamental plant.
