Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of Variovorax sp. EBFNA2, a fava bean nodule endophyte. The strain appears to be a new species, and its genome provides insight into its interactions with host plants and potential to promote plant growth and crop yield.

Keywords: PGPB; Variovorax; endophytes; genomes.
