Abstract

Bacillus sp. isolate EB-40 was characterized in 'Prata Anã' banana (Musa sp.) plants as an endophyte capable of colonizing both the inter- and intracellular spaces of roots, nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, in vitro synthesis of indole-3-acetic acid, and promotion of the development of micropropagated banana seedlings. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of Bacillus sp. isolate EB-40 and its taxonomic assignment. Its genome is composed of one chromosome and three plasmids. The circular double-stranded DNA chromosome (5,613,235 base pairs (bp)) has a GC content of 35.3% and 5462 genes. The three plasmids have a total length of 237,685 bp with 201 genes. Comparative genomics revealed that its genome shares similarity indices with Bacillus cereus genomes above the thresholds recommended for species assignment.

Article Highlights

B. cereus EB-40 is a novel bacterium with phosphorus-solubilizing activity, nitrogen fixation ability and IAA production ability.

The genome of B. cereus EB-40 consists of a circular double-stranded chromosome and three plasmids.

The complete genome sequence of strain EB-40 provides a genetic basis for multifunctional biofertilizers.
