Abstract
Liberibacter crescens BT-1, a gram negative, rod-shaped bacterial isolate, was previously recovered from papaya to gain insight on Huanglongbing (HLB) and Zebra Chip (ZC) diseases. The genome of BT-1 was sequenced at the Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research (ICBR) at the University of Florida. A finished assembly and annotation yielded one chromosome with a length of 1,504,659 bp and a G+C content of 35.4%. Comparison to other species in the Liberibacter genus, L. crescens has many more genes in thiamine and essential amino acid biosynthesis. This likely explains why L. crescens BT-1 is culturable while the known Liberibacter strains have not yet been cultured. Similar to Ca. L. asiaticus psy62, the L. crescens BT-1 genome contains two prophage regions. doi:10.4056/sigs.3326772Keywords
