# Draft genome sequences of five Stenotrophomonas indicatrix strains isolated from soil

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequences of five Stenotrophomonas indicatrix strains from soil, expanding knowledge about this poorly studied bacterium.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome sequences for S. indicatrix, a poorly understood species within the Stenotrophomonas genus.

## Key findings

- Five S. indicatrix strains were isolated from agricultural soil and sequenced.
- The genomes may help understand the bacterium's role in xenobiotic degradation.
- This work contributes to the genomic resources of a poorly studied species.

## Abstract

Here, we present genome sequences of five Stenotrophomonas indicatrix strains, isolated from agricultural soil. Stenotrophomonas strains are commonly associated with the rhizosphere and are well-known for their ability to degrade xenobiotics. Yet, to date, knowledge about S. indicatrix is limited.
