Genome Sequence of Rhizobium sullae HCNT1 Isolated from Hedysarum coronarium Nodules and Featuring Peculiar Denitrification Phenotypes

摘要

The genome sequence of Rhizobium sullae strain HCNT1, isolated from root nodules of the legume Hedysarum coronarium growing in wild stands in Tuscany, Italy, is described here. Unlike other R.?sullae strains, this isolate features a truncated denitrification pathway lacking NO/N2O reductase activity and displaying high sensitivity to nitrite under anaerobic conditions.
