  abstract = {{R}hizobium mesoamericanum {STM}6155 ({INSCD} = {ATYY}01000000) is an aerobic, motile, {G}ram-negative, non-sporeforming rod that can exist as a soil saprophyte or as an effective nitrogen fixing microsymbiont of the legume {M}imosa pudica {L}.. {STM}6155 was isolated in 2009 from a nodule of the trap host {M}. pudica grown in nickel-rich soil collected near {M}ont {D}ore, {N}ew {C}aledonia. {R}. mesoamericanum {STM}6155 was selected as part of the {DOE} {J}oint {G}enome {I}nstitute 2010 {G}enomic {E}ncyclopedia for {B}acteria and {A}rchaea-{R}oot {N}odule {B}acteria ({GEBA}-{RNB}) genome sequencing project. {H}ere we describe the symbiotic properties of {R}. mesoamericanum {STM}6155, together with its genome sequence information and annotation. {T}he 6,927,906 bp high-quality draft genome is arranged into 147 scaffolds of 152 contigs containing 6855 protein-coding genes and 71 {RNA}-only encoding genes. {S}train {STM}6155 forms an {ANI} clique ({ID} 2435) with the sequenced {R}. mesoamericanum strain {STM}3625, and the nodulation genes are highly conserved in these strains and the type strain of {R}hizobium grahamii {CCGE}501({T}). {W}ithin the {STM}6155 genome, we have identified a chr chromate efflux gene cluster of six genes arranged into two putative operons and we postulate that this cluster is important for the survival of {STM}6155 in ultramafic soils containing high concentrations of chromate.},
