Complete Genome Sequences of Four Parageobacillus Strains Isolated from Soil in Japan

We isolated four Parageobacillus strains from soil in Japan and completely sequenced their genomes. Three of four strains showed >= 98.9% average nucleotide identity (ANI) to Parageobacillus caldoxylosilyticus 51812(inverted perpendicular), while one strain, designated KH3-4, showed the highest ANI (91%) to Parageobacillus thermantarcticus M1(inverted perpendicular), suggesting the species novelty of KH3-4.
