Abstract

Citrobacter braakii AN-PRR1 is a potential salt-tolerant, plant growth-promoting rice rhizobacterium isolated from Pakistani soil. The 4.9-Mb draft genome sequence contributes to its taxonomic classification and will reveal the genes putatively responsible for its osmoprotectant and plant growth-promoting activity.
