Interpretive Summary: We report the DNA sequence of the genome of the bacterium Citrobacter braakii ASE1 that was isolated form the soil of a lettuce farm in Salinas, California in 2020. This bacterium has been shown to inhibit the growth of the human pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. Sequence analysis revealed that the genome is one single circular chromosome of 5,021,820 base pairs with a GC content of 52.2%.

Technical Abstract: We report the complete genome sequence of Citrobacter braakii ASE1 generated by the PacBio sequel II platform. This bacterium was isolated from the soil of a lettuce farm in Salinas, California in 2020 and was shown to inhibit the growth of Salmonella enterica serovar Poona and Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 an in vitro fluorescence based assay. The genome consists of a single circular chromosome of 5,021,820 bp with a 52.2% GC content.
