Serratia plymuthica C-1, a biocontrol agent, was isolated from soil collected from a mountain forest in Korea. Previous studies have shown that certain strains of S. plymuthica cause root rot disease in ginseng. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the sequence of the circular chromosome of S. plymuthica C-1, which plays a dual role by causing root rot in ginseng and exhibiting biocontrol activity. The findings of this study will assist in analyzing the genes associated with the pathogenicity and biocontrol properties of S. plymuthica.
