# Draft genome sequence of Bradyrhizobium sp. 33ap4 associated with effective root nodulation in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a soil bacterium that helps pigeon peas form root nodules, which is important for nitrogen fixation.

## Contribution

The paper provides a new draft genome sequence of Bradyrhizobium sp. 33ap4 with insights into its nodulation and stress response capabilities.

## Key findings

- The genome of Bradyrhizobium sp. 33ap4 is a single chromosome of 9.37 Mbp.
- The genome contains genes related to nodulation, nitrogen fixation, and stress response.
- This strain was isolated from pigeon pea root nodules and is associated with effective nodulation.

## Abstract

Bradyrhizobium sp. 33ap4 is a free-living soil bacterium that was isolated from nodules on pigeon pea roots. This draft genome sequence revealed that the Bradyrhizobium strain consists of a 9.37-Mbp single chromosome with predicted nodulation and nitrogen fixation genes, DNA metabolism, and other stress response features.
