The Agrobacterium strain AB2/73 has a unique host range for the induction of crown gall tumors, and contains an exceptionally large, over 500 kbp mega Ti plasmid. We used whole genome sequencing to fully characterize and comparatively analyze the complex genome of strain AB2/73, including its Ti plasmid and virulence factors. We obtained a high-quality, full genomic sequence of AB2/73 by a combination of short-read Illumina sequencing and long-read Nanopore sequencing. The AB2/73 genome has a total size of 7,266,754 bp with 59.5% GC for which 7012 genes (6948 protein coding sequences) are predicted. Phylogenetic and comparative genomics analysis revealed that strain AB2/73 does not belong to the genus Agrobacterium, but to a new species in the genus Rhizobium, which is most related to Rhizobium tropici. In addition to the chromosome, the genome consists of 6 plasmids of which the largest two, of more than 1 Mbp, have chromid-like properties. The mega Ti plasmid is 605 kbp in size and contains two, one of which is incomplete, repABC replication units and thus appears to be a cointegrate consisting of about 175 kbp derived from an unknown Ti plasmid linked to 430 kbp from another large plasmid. In pTiAB2/73 we identified a complete set of virulence genes and two T-DNAs. Besides the previously described T-DNA we found a larger, second T-DNA containing a 6b-like onc gene and the acs gene for agrocinopine synthase. Also we identified two clusters of genes responsible for opine catabolism, including an acc-operon for agrocinopine degradation, and genes putatively involved in ridéopine catabolism. The plasmid also harbours tzs, iaaM and iaaH genes for the biosynthesis of the plant growth regulators cytokinin and auxin. The comparative genomics analysis of the high quality genome of strain AB2/73 provided insight into the unusual phylogeny and genetic composition of the limited host range Agrobacterium strain AB2/73. The description of its unique genomic composition and of all the virulence determinants in pTiAB2/73 will be an invaluable tool for further studies into the special host range properties of this bacterium.
