## TL;DR

Scientists sequenced the genome of a bacteria found in a medicinal plant from India, which may help promote plant growth.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the draft genome sequence of Cellulosimicrobium cellulans MUKR 5, a plant growth-promoting endophyte from a biodiversity hotspot region.

## Key findings

- The draft genome of Cellulosimicrobium cellulans MUKR 5 is 4,229,506 bp with a GC content of 74.5%.
- The genome was assembled into three contigs.
- The bacterium was isolated from Iris laevigata Fisch., an ethnomedicinal plant in Manipur, India.

## Abstract

We report a plant growth-promoting bacterial endophyte,
Cellulosimicrobium cellulans MUKR 5, isolated from
Iris laevigata Fisch., an ethnomedicinal plant
belonging to Manipur, a North-Eastern State of India, in the Indo-Myanmar
Biodiversity hot spot. The draft genome consists of 4,229,506 bp (GC 74.5%)
assembled into three contigs.
