Abstract

Pantoea ananatis is a Gram-negative plant pathogen that causes disease on a broad range of host Plants, including pineapple, maize, rice, onion, melons, and Eucalyptus, and has been implicated in several cases of human disease. Here, we report the genome sequence of P. ananatis LMG20103 isolated from diseased Eucalyptus in South Africa.
