Whole-genome sequences of epiphytic Bacillus strains with biocontrol potentialities against the bacterial phytopathogen Erwinia amylovora

This study reports the complete and annotated genome assemblies of two epiphytic strains originating from pear and apple trees: Peribacillus frigoritolerans P.F1 and Bacillus paralicheniformis PF12. These strains exhibit antibacterial activities against Erwinia amylovora. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) was used for sequencing which is a valuable strategy to characterize Bacillus strains and provides insights into biocontrol mechanisms.
