Abstract
Klebsiella variicola strain DX120E (=CGMCC 1.14935) is an endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from sugarcane crops grown in Guangxi, China and promotes sugarcane growth. Here we summarize the features of the strain DX120E and describe its complete genome sequence. The genome contains one circular chromosome and two plasmids, and contains 5,718,434 nucleotides with 57.1% GC content, 5,172 protein-coding genes, 25 rRNA genes, 87 tRNA genes, 7 ncRNA genes, 25 pseudo genes, and 2 CRISPR repeats.

Introduction
The species Klebsiella variicola was classified in 2004 and consisted of clinical and plant-associated isolates [1].The species K. singaporensis was classified in 2004 based on a single soil isolate [2] and was recently identified as a later junior heterotypic synonym of K. variicola [3]. K. variicola is able to fix N2[1]. K. variicola strain At-22, one of the dominant bacteria in the fungus gardens of leaf-cutter ants, provides nitrogen source by N2 fixation [4] and carbon source by degrading leaf polymers to the ant-fungus symbiotic system [5]. Former K. pneumoniae strain 342 (Kp342), which is phylogenomically close to strain At-22 [6],[7] and has been identified as a strain of K. variicola [3], is able to colonize in plants and to provide small but critical amounts of fixed nitrogen to plant hosts [8].
K. variicola strain DX120E was isolated from roots of sugarcane grown in Guangxi, the major sugarcane production area in China [9]. It is able to colonize in sugarcane roots and shoots, to fix N2 in association with sugarcane plants, and to promote sugarcane growth [10], and thus shows a potential as a biofertilizer. Here we present a summary of the features of the K. variicola strain DX120E (=CGMCC 1.14935) and its complete genome sequence, and thus provide a genetic background to understand its endophytic lifestyle, plant growth-promoting potentials, and similarities and differences to other plant-associated and clinical K. variicola isolates.
Organism information
Classification and general features
K. variicola strain DX120E is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile rod (Figure 1). It grows aerobically but reduces N2 to NH3 at a low pO2. It is able to grow and fix N2 on media containing 10% (w/v) cane sugar or sucrose. It forms circular, convex, smooth colonies with entire margins on the solid high-sugar content media. It grows best around 30°C and pH 7 (Table 1).

Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences from strain DX120E and strain Kp342, the type strains of the species in the genera Klebsiella and Raoultella , and the type strain of the type species of the type genus of the family Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli ATCC11775T) showed that K. variicola strains (type strain F2R9, Kp342, DX120E and LX3) were most closely related and formed a monophyletic group with K. pneumoniae and K. quasipneumoniae (Figure 2).
Like typical members in the genera Klebsiella , K. variicola DX120E utilizes alanine, arabinose, D-arabitol, L-aspartate, D-cellobiose, citrate, D-fructose, L-fucose, D-galactose, gentiobiose, glucose, glycerol, myo-inositol, lactate, lactose, malate, maltose, D-mannitol, D-mannose, D-melibiose, L-proline, D-raffinose, L-rhamnose, L-serine, D-sorbitol, sucrose, and D-trehalose [23]. DX120E does not utilize adonitol (also known as ribitol), which is a distinctive characteristic from K. pneumoniae [1].

Growth conditions and DNA isolation
K. variicola DX120E was grown in liquid Luria-Bertani (LB) medium at 30°C to early stationary phase. The genome DNA was extracted from the cells by using a TIANamp bacterial DNA kit (Tiangen Biotech, Beijing, China). DNA quality and quantity were determined with a Nanodrop spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, USA).
Genome sequencing and assembly
The genome DNA of K. variicola DX120E was constructed into a 4 – 10 kb insert library and sequenced by the Pacific Biosciences’ (PacBio) Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing technology [24] at the Duke University Genome Sequencing & Analysis Core Resource. Sequencing was run on single SMRT cell and resulted in 91,190 high-quality filtered reads with an average length of 6,196 bp. High-quality read bases were assembled by the Hierarchical Genome Assembly Process (HGAP) with smrtanalysis-2.1.1. The resulting draft genome consisted of 5,719,400 nucleotides and 5 contigs.
The genome DNA of K. variicola DX120E was also constructed into a 500-bp insert library and sequenced by an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing system at BGI Tech, Shenzhen, China. The Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing resulted in 6,699,933 high-quality filtered reads with an average length of 90 bp. The sequencing data were assembled by the Short Oligonucleotide Analysis Package (SOAPdenovo 2.04) [25]. The resulting draft genome consisted of 5,695,362 nucleotides and 27 scaffolds.
The two draft genomes were aligned by Mauve [26]. The Illumina scaffold 1 bridged the PacBio contig 1 and contig 2; the Illumina scaffold 3 bridged the PacBio contig 1, contig 2, and contig 3; the Illumina scaffold 11 bridged the circular PacBio contig 4; the Illumina scaffold 16 bridged the circular PacBio contig 5. The genome sequencing was completed by PCR and Sanger sequencing to close the contig gaps of the PacBio-sequenced genome.
Genome annotation
Automated genome annotation was completed by the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline. Product description annotations were obtained by searching against the KEGG, InterPro, and COG databases. Genes with signal peptides were predicted by SignalP [27]. Genes with transmembrane helices were predicted by TMHMM [28]. Genes for tRNA were found by tRNAScanSE [29]. Ribosomal RNAs were found by BLASTN vs. ribosomal RNA databases; 5S rRNA hits were further refined by Cmsearch [30]. Thirteen disrupted genes were replaced by the complete gene sequences obtained from the Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing.
Genome properties
The genome of K. variicola DX120E contains one circular chromosome and two plasmids (pKV1 and pKV2) (Table 3, Figure 3). The chromosome contains 5,501,013 nucleotides with 57.3% G + C content. The plasmid pKV1 contains 162,706 nucleotides with 50.7% G + C content. The plasmid pKV2 contains 54,715 nucleotides with 53.1% G + C content. The genome contains 5,316 predicted genes, 5,172 protein-coding genes, 119 RNA genes (25 rRNA genes, 87 tRNA genes, and 7 ncRNA genes), 25 pseudo genes, and 2 CRISPR repeats. The chromosome, pKV1, and pKV2 contain 4990, 131, and 51 protein-coding genes with coding density of 87.3%, 74.2%, and 83.9%, respectively. Among the 5,172 protein-coding genes, 4,511 genes (87.2%) have been assigned functions, while 661 genes (12.8%) have been annotated as hypothetical or unknown proteins (Table 4). The distribution of genes into COGs functional categories is presented in Table 5.

Insights from the genome sequence
The genome of K. variicola DX120E contains genes contributing to multiple plant-beneficial functions. In accordance with previously detected N2 fixation, indole-3-acetic acid production, siderophore production, and phosphate solubilization [9], the genome of K. variicola DX120E contains nif cluster, indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase, siderophore enterobactin synthesis genes (entABCDEF) and enterobactin exporter gene (entS), and pyrroloquinoline quinone synthesis genes (pqqBCDEF) contributing to these functions. Moreover, the genome of K. variicola DX120E contains the budABC operon for the synthesis of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol [32], and thus may induce plant systemic resistance to pathogens [33].
DX120E contains plasmids similar to those in Klebsiella relatives. The plasmid pKV1 is most similar to the plasmid pKp5-1 of the K. pneumoniae strain 5–1 (Kp5-1) [34] with a 97% identity of 56% coverage (Additional file 1: Figure S1); the similar regions mainly encode transposase/recombinases and proteins functioning in plasmid replication, partitioning, and conjugal transfer. The plasmid pKV2 is most similar to the plasmid pKOXM1C of the K. oxytoca strain M1 with a 96% identity of 89% coverage (Additional file 2: Figure S2); the similar regions mainly encode proteins for plasmid partitioning and phage functions.
The genome of K. variicola DX120E has high average nucleotide identities (ANI) [35] about 99% to the available genomes of K. variicola strains DSM 15968T, At-22, Bz19, and Kp342. Bz19 was isolated from faeces of a hospitalized patient [6]. The plant-beneficial strain Kp342 is able to infect mouse organs, although it is less virulent than typical clinical K. pneumoniae isolates [36]. Kp5-1, which has the plasmid pKp5-1 close to pKV1, is a cotton pathogen causing boll-rot disease [34]. The genome of strain Kp5-1 has ANI values about 99% to the genomes of the known K. variicola strains and thus belongs to K. variicola . These drive concerns about potential pathogenicity of DX120E to animals and plants. Therefore, DX120E’s pathogenic potentials to animals and plants should be determined before using DX120E as a biofertilizer in the field.
Conclusions
The complete genome sequence of K. variicola DX120E provides the genetic background for understanding the bacterial mechanisms to adapt endophytic life and to promote plant growth. The high degree of whole-genome and plasmid similarities between DX120E and phytopathogenic and clinical Klebsiella isolates suggests the risk of using DX120E as a biofertilizer. The available genome sequences of the K. variicola strains allow an in-depth comparative analysis to understand the subtle pathogenicity mechanisms of the pathogens and to predict pathogenic risks for the plant-beneficial strain DX120E.
