Here we present its complete genome sequence that is 8.6 Mb long with a GC content of 66.9%, 10,209 predicted protein-coding sequences, and 866 secondary metabolism gene clusters. Many of these genes and clusters involve antibiosis and other antagonistic activities against plant pathogens and insect pests as well as plant growth promoting traits but none for the Burkholderia cepacia epidemic strain marker. This genome sequence supports SSG as a potent biocontrol agent and source of other biotechnological applications.Pages e00455application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalBoxwood endophyteBurkholderia sp.
