Abstract

We announce the draft genome sequence of Collimonas pratensis PMB3(1), isolated from the Scleroderma citrinum mycorrhizosphere. In addition to its mineral-weathering effectiveness and antifungal activity, this strain is characterized by genomic features that give it great potential as a biocontrol and plant growth-promoting agent in nutrient-poor soils.
