The Sanger Institute has completed the sequence and analysis of Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica strain SCRI1043 (ATCC BAA-672), in collaboration with Dr. Ian Toth and Dr. Paul Birch of the Scottish Crop Research Institute, and Prof. George Salmond of the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge. This project was funded by The Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department (SEERAD).

Published Genome Data

The fully annotated genome sequence is available from the EMBL/GenBank database with accession number BX950851.
