Abstract Kosakonia radicincitans (formerly known as Enterobacter radicincitans), an endophytic bacterium was isolated from the symptomatic tissues of bacterial wilt diseased banana (Musa spp.) plant in Malaysia. The total genome size of K. radicincitans UMEnt01/12 is 5 783 769 bp with 5463 coding sequences (CDS), 75 tRNAs, and 9 rRNAs. The annotated draft genome of the K. radicincitans UMEnt01/12 strain might shed light on its role as a bacterial wilt-associated bacterium. The first genome sequence of Kosakonia radicincitans isolated from the symptomatic tissues of bacterial wilt diseased banana plant, provides new insights into the roles of a bacterium associated with bacterial wilt diseased banana plant. The first genome sequence of Kosakonia radicincitans isolated from the symptomatic tissues of bacterial wilt diseased banana plant, provides new insights into the roles of a bacterium associated with bacterial wilt diseased banana plant.
