High-Quality Draft Genome Sequence of Curtobacterium sp. Strain Ferrero.

Here, we present the high-quality draft genome sequence of Curtobacterium sp. strain Ferrero, an actinobacterium belonging to a novel species isolated as an environmental contaminant in a bacterial cell culture. The assembled genome of 3,694,888 bp in 49 contigs has a G+C content of 71.6% and contains 3,516 predicted genes.

High-Quality Draft Genome Sequences of Two Xanthomonas citri pv. malvacearum Strains.

We report high-quality draft genome sequences of two strains (race 18 and 20) of Xanthomonas citri pv. malvacearum, the causal agent of bacterial blight of cotton. Comparative genomics will help to decipher mechanisms provoking disease and triggering defense responses and to develop new molecular tools for epidemiological surveillance.
