چکیده (انگلیسی):

The strain BR 3267 is a nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacteria isolated from soil of semi-arid areaof Brazilian Northeast using cowpea as the trap plant. This strain is used as commercialinoculant for cowpea and presents high efficient in nitrogen fixation as consequence of itsadaptation potential to semi-arid conditions. We report here the draft genome sequence ofBradyrhizobium sp. strain BR 3267, an elite bacterium used as inoculant for cowpea. Wholegenome sequencing of BR 3267 using Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology has 55 scaffoldswith a total genome size of 7,904,309 bp and C+G 63%. Annotation was added by the RASTprokaryotic genome annotation service and has shown 7314 coding sequences and 52 RNAgenes.Published by Elsevier Editora Ltda. on behalf of Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia.This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).
