What is it about?
The genome of this plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, known as Burkholderia sp. Nafp2/4-1b was sequenced and a number of important genes were detected that determine the activity of this bacterium as a beneficial plant growth promoter.

Why is it important?
We disclose here the presence of several important genes in this bacterial genome that determine different types of beneficial traits of the bacteria for both plant growth promotion and biological control of phytopathogens.
Perspectives
This is the first genome announcement publication that I produced, having sequenced almost the entire genome of a beneficial rhizosphere bacteria that has a greater potential to be developed as a commercial inoculant in agricultural systems.
