Genome Sequence Data of Achromobacter vitis , an Endophytic Species with Biocontrol Properties Against Xylella fastidiosa

Deyett et al discuss the genome sequence data of Achromobacter vitis, an endophytic species with biocontrol properties against Xylella fastidiosa. Xylella fastidiosa is a re-emerging plant pathogen that causes disease of several vine and tree crops. However, there are no treatments targeting the pathogen itself. Genus Achromobacter has been identified as a member of the grapevine microbiome and is a known biocontrol agent in several pathosystems. Achromobacter vitis UCR-ACH1 isolate was cultured on tryptic soy agar at 28°C for 2 days. A single colony was inoculated in tryptic soy broth and was incubated overnight at 28°C with constant shaking.
