Complete genome sequences of eight potential biocontrol microorganisms isolated from Washington apple orchards

Open access0 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT Eight potential biocontrol bacteria were isolated from diseased apple ( Malus domestica ) tissues. Here, we report high-quality complete genome sequences for the eight isolates. These data might help in understanding the genetic basis of biocontrol activity, strain compatibility, and ecological adaptation of biocontrol agents for fire blight disease management.
