Complete genome sequence of the abscisic acid-utilizing strain Novosphingobium sp. P6W.

ABSTRACT: The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays multiple roles in plant survival and fitness. Significant quantities of ABA are constantly introduced into soil via root exudation, root turnover and incorporation of abscised shoot tissues. In addition, some phytopathogenic fungi synthesize ABA in the course of plant-microbe interactions. The accumulation of soil ABA can inhibit seed germination and root growth but despite this observation, the biochemical pathways of ABA conversion by microorganisms and genetic determinants of the process remain unknown. Here we report on the complete genome sequence of strain P6W, an ABA-utilizing isolate of the genus Novosphingobium. Strain P6W was isolated from the rhizosphere of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings using a selective ABA-supplemente
