The genome of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidifoliorum ICMP18803 (Pfm) was sequenced using the Oxford Nanopore MinION platform to an average read depth of 123-fold. The genome assembled into a single chromosome of 6,353,853 bp after error correction with Illumina short reads using Pilon. No plasmids were detected. Despite Pfm only being a relatively weak pathogen of kiwifruit, a set of 31 effectors, 26 of which were full length, was identified by mapping the comprehensive effector library generated by previous researchers to the assembled chromosome. A revised Pfm genome with the effector complement correctly named and annotated was resubmitted to GenBank (CP081457). [Figure: see text] Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).
