Both infected Microbacterium foliorum strain NRRL B-24224. Their 39,215-bp and 40,393-bp genomes were assigned to subclusters EA4 and EA10, respectively, widening for the first time the known geographical distribution of these subclusters to Europe. ## Linked entities - **Species:** Microbacterium foliorum (taxon 104336) ## Full-text entities - **Species:** Microbacterium foliorum (species) [taxon 104336] ## Full text _Full body text omitted from this summary view._ Fetch the complete paper as Markdown: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12138531/full.md ## Figures 1 figure with captions in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12138531/full.md ## References 16 references — full list in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12138531/full.md --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12138531
