Abstract

Xenorhabdus griffiniae strain BMMCB (LDNM00000000) belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and was isolated from the South African entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema khoisanae strain BMMCB (GenBank accession no. KT027382). Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequence of X. griffinae strain BMMCB with a genome size of 4,183,779 bp and 44.7% G+C content. The NCBI Prokaryotic Automatic Annotation Pipeline (PGAAP) revealed 3,970 genes.
