Luteolibacter sp. strain Populi is bacterium from the phylum Verrucomicrobiota, isolated from the rhizosphere of a black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa, from the Cascade mountains in Washington. Its 6.6 Mb chromosome was completely sequenced using Oxford Nanopore long-reads and is predicted to encode 5301 proteins and 60 RNAs. The bacteria was isolated from the rhizosphere of a mature Populus trichocarpa from the Tieton riverwatershed of Washington state, USA (Lat: 46°42’9” N, Lon: 120°25 39’36” W). A rhizosphere sample (fine roots and adhering soil) was used to obtain a microbial fraction by centrifugation on Histodenz (12) and stained with 5µM Syto59 (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc). A Cytopeia Influx cell sorter (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ) was used to sort and array single cells (100 per plate) based on forward-side scatter and fluorescence intensity on asparagine-glucose nutrient agar (ATCC medium 184). The Luteolibacter sp. Populi genome sequence has been deposited in GenBank under the accession number CP161812. A draft genome annotated with Prokka and DRAM is available in this Narrative as Luteolibacter_sp_Prokka.240711.
