Abstract

Two novel boron-tolerant, arsenic-resistant, Gram-positive bacterial strains, Lysinibacillus sp. OL1 and Enterococcus sp. OL5, were isolated from boron fertilizer-amended cauliflower plantation field soils in India. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of OL1 (4.87 Mb) and OL5 (3.93 Mb) to explore the intricacies of boron tolerance in bacteria.
