Burkholderia sp. strain A1 was isolated from a decaying log present in the breeding environment of a stag beetle. The draft genome sequence indicates that strain A1 harbors many biosynthesis molecules, which have antimicrobial properties, and thus potentially eliminates the fungi by producing antifungal compounds, such as siderophores.
