Abstract

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas protegens strain BNJ-SS-45, which was isolated from wheat rhizosphere. The genome is assembled with 7,116,445 bp with a GC content of 63.34% consisting of 32 scaffolds. The genome is useful in prediction of secondary metabolites, particularly rhizoxin, pyoverdine, and bacteriocin.
