Complete genome sequence of Serratia fonticola DSM 4576T, a potential plant growth promoting bacterium

Here, we present the first complete genome sequence of Serratia fonticola DSM 4576T, a potential plant growth promoting (PGP) bacterium which confers solubilization of inorganic phosphate, indole-3-acetic acid production, hydrogen cyanideproduction, siderophore production and assimilation of ammonia through the glutamate synthase (GS/GOGAT) pathway. This genome sequence is valuable for functional genomics and ecological studies which are related to PGP and biocontrol activities.
