Paraburkholderia phenazinium S18 Genome sequencing and assembly

We propose to bioprospect in the plant microbiome for bacteria that live inside and on the surface of plants, particularly those from the genus Paraburkholderia, that can protect against important agricultural pathogens, focusing on those that cause fire blight, fungal diseases and potato late blight. Our aim is to identify new bacterial biocontrol agents, to expand the scope for biocontrol in agriculture.
