Abstract

Burkholderia pyrrocinia strain NP16, isolated from potassium-deficient soil in Korea, exhibits plant growth-promoting traits.The 7.92 Mb draft genome with a GC content of 66.5% encodes genes related to siderophore production, biofilm formation, and stress tolerance.Its strong siderophore synthesis and biofilm-forming abilities are likely to enhance root colonization and long-term persistence in soil environments.These genomic features highlight its potential as a beneficial rhizobacterium for nutrient-limited ecosystems.
