Description

Here, we report the analysis of complete and annotated genome assemblies of three Bacillus sp. strains, two of them belong to Bacillus subtilis isolated from organic seeds of tomato and, one strain belongs to Bacillus velezensis isolated from Solanum linaennum seeds exhibiting antifungal activities against the soil borne pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. We show that the WGS represents a valuable strategy to highly characterize Bacillus strains, and provides greater insight into biocontrol mechanisms which facilitates its applications in the future.

Notes

The sequencing of the bacterial strains was supported by the GetGenome initiative of The Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, UK, with support from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBBSRC).
