Labrys sp. KNU-23 is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, have potential plant growth-promoting activity (Visioli et al., tryptophan-producing, urea-decomposing bacterium that was 2018). In this study, Labrys sp. KNU-23 was isolated from gin- isolated from ginseng soil in Bonghwa-gun, Republic of Korea. seng soil in Bonghwa-gun, Republic of Korea (N 37.0036.8°, This study reports the complete genome sequence of strain E 128.4950.9°). KNU-23. The complete genome comprises two circular chro- A single colony of this strain was inoculated in R2A medium mosomes of 5,388,854 bp and 2,162,438 bp with a GC content of 64 and 62.1%, respectively.

Whole-genome sequencing Keywords: Labrys sp., tryptophan, urease was performed using the PacBio RSII system (Park et al., 2019) at Macrogen Inc..

Some members of the genus Labrys have The 16S rRNA sequence of strain KNU-23 was compared previously been isolated from rhizospheric ecosystem (Chou et with 16S rRNA sequences available by the BLAST search (Fig. al., 2007; Nguyen et al., 2015).

The complete because ureA, ureB, and ureC genes were found in the genome, genome of strain KNU-23 was deposited in GenBank under which encode the quaternary structured urease (Table 2). accession numbers CP043488.1 and CP043489.1. The genome Furthermore, the genome contains trpA, trpB, trpC, and trpD, comprised two chromosomes, one 5,388,854 bp in length and which encode subunits of tryptophan synthase and anthranilate the other 2,162,438 bp in length. A total of 6,868 genes were phosphoribosyltransferase, which are related to tryptophan predicted, and 64 RNA genes (9 rRNAs and 51 tRNAs) were synthesis (Table 2). These findings indicate that the strain identified (Table 1). KNU-23 can synthesize tryptophan as a precursor of auxin for The genome contains several coding genes related to plant plant growth hormone (Spaepen et al., 2011). These findings growth-promoting activity, such as tryptophan and urease indicate that Labrys sp. KNU-23 is a highly potent bacterial biosynthesis which are the important features as plant growth strain for agricultural purposes. promoting bacteria (Ibal et al., 2018).
