Abstract

Bacterial plant pathogens Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. phaseolicola, P. syringae pv. tomato, P. syringae pv. atrofaciens, and P. oleovorans East River isolate A serve as common laboratory hosts for bacteriophage Φ6, a widely used model organism for enveloped viruses. Here, we report complete genome sequences for strains of these bacterial hosts.
