Abstract

Frankia sp. strain Cc1.17 is a member of the Frankia lineage 3, the organisms of which are able to reinfect plants of the Eleagnaceae, Rhamnaceae, and Myricaceae families and the genera Gynmnostoma and Alnus Here, we report the 8.4-Mbp draft genome sequence, with a G+C content of 72.14% and 6,721 candidate protein-coding genes.
