An endophytic plant growth promoting bacteriumPantoea ananatis MR5 was isolated from roots of Cenchrus biflorus, a drought tolerant plant. Genome sequencing of Pantoea ananatis MR5 was carried out in Ion Torrent (PGM), Next generation Sequencer. The data obtained revealed 242 contings with genome size of 4.1 Mb and G+C content of up to 55%.The size of cell was measured with average of 1.56µm by using Scanning electron microscope.This bacterium had contain genes responsible for drought tolerance in plant, including phosphate solubilisation, IAA, siderophore production and ACC deaminase activities for plant.
