Whole genome sequence data of Erwinia amilovora strain E22, from Kazakhstan

Erwinia amilovora is the causative agent of bacterial blight of rosaceae plants. The disease affects ornamental species of this family and fruit trees of great economic importance, such as apple and pear. In the presented research, sequencing of the Erwinia amilovora strain E22 isolated in Kazakhstan, was performed on the Illumina MiSeq platform, followed by bioinformatics processing and gene annotation using SPAdes, RAST, antiSMASH and CARD programs and databases. The size of the assembled genome is 3,799,623 bp. Annotation of the Erwinia amilovora genome assembly identified 3462 genes, including 3251 protein-coding genes and 117 RNA genes. This genome will be helpful to further understand the evolution of Erwinia amilovora and can be useful for obtaining control agents.
