Abstract

Here, we present a complete circular genome (5.4 Mb) and a plasmid (104,972 bp) of the plant growth-promoting bacterium Phytobacter diazotrophicus strain UAEU22, isolated from date palm rhizosphere in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Annotation of the genome resulted in 5,229 predicted genes.
