Draft Genome Sequence of Agrobacterium sp. Strain R89-1, a Morphine Alkaloid-Biotransforming Bacterium

Abstrakt

Agrobacteriumsp. strain R89-1 isolated from composted wastes ofPapaver somniferumcan effectively biotransform codeine/morphine into 14-OH-derivatives. Here, we present a 4.7-Mb assembly of the R89-1 strain genome.

The draft shows that the strain R89-1 represents a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the genusAgrobacterium.
