Abstract

Here, we report the genome assemblies of 11 endophytic bacteria, isolated from poison ivy vine (Toxicodendron radicans). Five species belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, two species of Curtobacterium, one strain of Pantoea agglomerans, and one species from the Bacillus, Cellulomonas, and Enterobacter genera were isolated from the interior tissue of poison ivy.

Phylogenomic tree of PIV strains unclassified at the species level. Maximum likelihood tree depicting the evolutionary relationships among sequenced poison ivy isolates without species classification (blue taxa) and their closely related strains in GTDB. The GTOTree pipeline (10) identified and aligned 74 single-copy bacterial genes from each genome assembly using hmmsearch version 3.3.2 (14) and MUSCLE version 3.8.1551 (15), respectively. The concatenated amino acid alignment was used to construct a maximum likelihood tree with FastTree version 2.1.10 (16) (default Whelan and Goldman [WAG] model for amino acid evolution). Branch lengths indicate the number of substitutions per site while node labels indicate Shimodaira-Hasegawa(SH)-like support values.
