# Complete genome sequences of biocontrol agents Serratia rubidaea strains SY163 and SY183 effective against tomato gray mold

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequences of two Serratia rubidaea strains that can fight tomato gray mold.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the complete genome sequences of SY163 and SY183, biocontrol agents effective against Botrytis cinerea.

## Key findings

- SY163 and SY183 have circular chromosomes of 4,915,045 and 4,978,521 bp respectively.
- Both strains have a G + C content of 59.1%.
- The strains were isolated from tomato leaves using methanol as the sole carbon source.

## Abstract

We report the genome sequences of Serratia rubidaea strains SY163 and SY183, isolated from tomato leaves using methanol as the sole carbon source. These strains are known to inhibit the gray mold pathogen, Botrytis cinerea. PacBio Sequel IIe sequencing yielded circular chromosomes of 4,915,045 and 4,978,521 bp, both with 59.1% G + C content.
