Complete genomic sequence and phylogenomics analysis of Agrobacterium strain AB2/73: a new Rhizobium species with a unique mega-Ti plasmid

Abstract Background The Agrobacterium strain AB2/73 has a unique host range for the induction of crown gall tumors, and contains an exceptionally large, over 500 kbp mega Ti plasmid. We used whole genome sequencing to fully characterize and comparatively analyze the complex genome of strain AB2/73,...
