Abstract

ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa” is a facultative endosymbiont of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci . Herein, we report the first draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa” from the invasive Mediterranean cryptic species of the B. tabaci complex. The 1.84-Mbp genome sequence comprises 404 contigs and contains 1,806 predicted protein-coding genes.
