Draft genomes of "Pectobacterium peruviense" strains isolated from fresh water in France.

ABSTRACT: Bacteria belonging to the genus Pectobacterium are responsible for soft rot disease on a wide range of cultivated crops. The "Pectobacterium peruviense" specie, recently proposed inside the Pectobacterium genus, gathers strains isolated from potato tubers cultivated in Peru at high altitude. Here we report the draft genome sequence of two strains belonging to "P. peruviense" isolated from river water in France indicating that the geographic distribution of this specie is likely to be larger than previously anticipated. We compared these genomes with the one published from the "P. peruviense" specie type strain isolated in Peru.
