Draft genome sequence of the plant growth-promoting bacterium bacillus subtilis strain BZR 517, isolated from winter wheat, now reclassified as bacillus velezensis strain BZR 517

Copyright © 2020 Radchenko et al. Bacillus velezensis strain BZR 517 is a prospective plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium with known biocontrol properties, which may be used to improve soil quality. The genome sequencing was conducted as part of new biological agent development in order to determine the biocontrol potential of the strain, including the production of biologically active compounds

Draft genome sequence of bacillus velezensis BZR 336g, a plant growth-promoting antifungal biocontrol agent isolated from winter wheat

Copyright © 2020 Garkovenko et al. Bacillus velezensis strain BZR 336g is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium isolated from a winter wheat rhizoplane from the Krasnodar region in Russia. In this study, we report the genome, including genes with known phenotypic function, i.e., the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites with fungicidal and plant growth-promoting activities. We sequenced and analyzed the complete BZR 336g genome using two different DNA preparation methods to help us better understand the origin of the antimicrobial and antifungal abilities and to weigh the biocontrol properties of this strain
