Abstract

Here, we report the annotated draft genome sequence of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. eucalyptorum pathotype strain LPF602 (synonym Xanthomonas axonopodis BSC45a), isolated from eucalypt leaves showing bacterial blight symptoms in Brazil. The availability of these genomic data will help improve the understanding of the evolution and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of this microorganism.
