Ensifer adhaerens strain:Corn53 Genome sequencing and assembly. Ensifer adhaerens strain:Corn53

To sequence and assemble the genomic DNA of a strain of Sinorhizobium sp. isolated from the roots of corn plant. This bacteria has the potential to serve in bio-fertilizers because of its ability to fix nitrogen, survive on lignin as a sole carbon source, and possibly form nodules on the roots of alfalfa plants.
