Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae SRDI969, an acid-tolerant, efficient nitrogen-fixing microorganism of Vicia faba. The 6.8 Mbp genome consists of a chromosome and four plasmids, with the symbiosis and nitrogen fixation genes encoded on the chromosome.

Keywords: DNA sequencing; genomics; nitrogen fixation; symbiosis.
