# Complete genome sequences of Rhizobium favelukesii strains T136, T1470, and T1473 from Canada

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequences of three Rhizobium favelukesii strains from Canada, which are important for plant nodulation and nitrogen fixation.

## Contribution

The study provides newly sequenced and complete genomes of three Rhizobium favelukesii strains, including their chromosomal and plasmid content.

## Key findings

- Each genome includes a chromosome and multiple plasmids, totaling ~4.2 Mb and ~0.01–1.99 Mb respectively.
- The genomes contain genes related to nodulation and nitrogen fixation but lack type III secretion system genes.
- The strains were isolated from root-nodules of Medicago and Melilotus plants.

## Abstract

We report complete genome sequences of Rhizobium favelukesii strains T136, T1470, and T1473 isolated from root-nodules of Medicago and Melilotus. Each genome comprises a chromosome (~4.2 Mb) and four to seven plasmids (~0.01–1.99 Mb) and contains predicted nodulation and nitrogen-fixation genes but lacks predicted type III secretion system genes.
