Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas viridiflava strain CDRTc14 a pectinolytic bacterium showing herbicidal activity, isolated from the root of Lepidium draba L. growing as a weed in an Austrian vineyard. The availability of this genome sequence allows us to investigate the genetic basis of plant-microbe interactions.
