Whole Genome Sequence of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> CIMT2, Isolated from the Rhizosphere of Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.)

Sustainable agriculture aims to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, with species from the Pseudomonas genus, a gram-negative bacterium, playing a key role as Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR).These bacteria enhance nutrient uptake, support nitrogen metabolism, and improve plant tolerance to various biotic and abiotic stresses.In this study, we analyze P. aeruginosa strain CIMT2, isolated from the rhizosphere of maize (Zea mays L.).Pseudomonas exhibits halotolerance, phosphate solubilization, ammonia production, and multiple nitrogen metabolism activities, including nitrate reduction, indicating its potential as a PGPR, particularly in saline and nutrient-limited environments.By investigating its genetic composition, we aim to explore the contributions
