# Bacterial isolate collection from switchgrass rhizosphere

## TL;DR

This paper presents a collection of 78 bacteria isolated from switchgrass roots in Michigan, including their genetic sequences.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is a curated bacterial isolate collection from a specific switchgrass rhizosphere site with full 16S rRNA sequences.

## Key findings

- Seventy-eight bacterial isolates were collected from switchgrass rhizosphere soil.
- Full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences are provided for each isolate.
- The isolates originate from a single field site in Michigan, USA.

## Abstract

We provide a collection of 78 bacterial isolates from the rhizosphere of
switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) at the Lux Arbor Reserve
in Delton, MI, a site of the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC),
Michigan State University, MI, USA. We include information on isolation
conditions and full-length 16S rRNA sequences.
