Abstract

In this study, we present the genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain ST24, an endophytic bacterium isolated from rice seeds. The genome assembly comprises a total of 5,799,877 bp, with a GC content of 34.81%. Furthermore, our analysis revealed the presence of various genes associated with antibiotic production, as well as genes involved in polyketide biosynthesis and non-ribosomal polyketide-like clusters.

Keywords: Bacillus; Bacillus cereus; Bacillus thuringiensis; genomics; phytobacteriology.
