# Draft genome sequence of Burkholderia semiarida isolated from Theobroma cacao in Chiapas, Mexico

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome sequence of a Burkholderia semiarida strain isolated from cacao plants in Mexico.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome sequence of Burkholderia semiarida from a specific geographic and agricultural context.

## Key findings

- Burkholderia semiarida CLM7-1 was isolated from Theobroma cacao rhizosphere in Chiapas, Mexico.
- A draft genome sequence of the isolated strain is reported.

## Abstract

During an investigation of Burkholderia species from agricultural soils in Mexico, Burkholderia semiarida was isolated from the rhizosphere of Theobroma cacao L. growing in Chiapas, Mexico. Here, we present the draft genome of Burkholderia semiarida CLM7-1.
