Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. sonorensis strain Caborca is an entomopathogenic bacterium with a dual lifestyle, namely, as a mutualist of the Heterorhabditis sonorensis nematode and a pathogen to a wide range of insect species. The genome assembly, in 231 contigs, is 5.2 Mbp long and includes 25 putative gene clusters for secondary metabolism.
