Complete Genome Sequences of Trifolium spp. Inoculant Strains Rhizobium leguminosarum sv. trifolii TA1 and CC275e: Resources for Genomic Study of the Rhizobium-Trifolium Symbiosis

Rhizobium leguminosarum symbiovar trifolii strains TA1 and CC275e are nitrogen-fixing microsymbionts of Trifolium spp. and have been used as commercial inoculant strains for clovers in pastoral agriculture in Australia and New Zealand. Here we present the complete genome sequences of both strains, resolving their multipartite genome structures and allowing for future studies using genomic approaches.
