Draft genome sequences of representative Paenibacillus polymyxa, Bacillus cereus, Fictibacillus sp., and Brevibacillus agri strains isolated from Amazonian dark earth

Here, we report 10 distinct bacterial genomes from Amazonian dark earths, including six identified as Paenibacillus polymyxa, while the remaining four were unique representatives of Paenibacillus vini, Bacillus cereus, Brevibacillus agri, and Fictibacillus sp., respectively. Each strain exhibited antagonistic activity against Fusarium oxysporum, underscoring their potential as sustainable agriculture resources.

Automated summary

This study reports the genomes of 10 different bacterial strains from Amazonian dark earths, including six identified as Paenibacillus polymyxa and four representing other bacterial species. All these strains exhibited antagonistic activity against Fusarium oxysporum, highlighting their potential as sustainable agriculture resources.
