Five draft genome assemblies from Bacillaceae isolated from a degraded wetland environment

Dataset ·

Abstract We isolated 5 Bacillaceae from a degraded wetland environment and sequenced their genomes using Illumina NextSeq. Here, we report draft genome sequences of Bacillus velezensus-SC119, Priestia megaterium-SC120, Bacillus zhangzhouensis-SC123, Bacillus pumilis-SC124, and Bacillus idriensis-SC127. The genomes range between 3,657,353 and 5,772,725 base pairs with %GC between 37.62% and 46.38%. Introduction Wetland environments play critical roles in the terrestrial carbon and water cycles and microbial communities are key players in healthy ecosystem function. Endospore forming bacteria in the Bacillaceae family are metabolically and genomically diverse soil heterotrophs that influence plant health, carbon and nitrogen cycling, and often produce diverse natural products that influence other bacterial and non-bacterial species in their environment (1). We collected two soil samples on January 19, 2023 from 42°43'12.7"N 73°45'01.4"W. One was highly hydrated and within a patch of invasive common reeds (Phragmites sp.) and the other was near the base of an Eastern cottonwood tree (Populus deltoides). Bacillus pumilis strain SC124 was isolated from the soil from near the cottonwood tree, while Bacillus velezensis strain SC119, Priestia megaterium strain SC120, Bacillus zhangzhouensis strain SC123, Bacillus idriensis strain SC127 and were isolated from the marshy soil.
