Abstract
Acidovorax citrulli is a causal agent for bacterial fruit blotch on watermelon. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of A. citrulli strain KACC17005. The genome contains 5,349,924 bp with G + C contents of 68.54%, including 4,520 protein coding genes in a circular chromosome. It also possesses at least 15 genes encoding putative type III effector proteins, which may contribute to promoting virulence in susceptible hosts or triggering immune responses in resistant hosts.
