Abstract

Bacillus species have been widely selected and used as probiotics for humans and animals. In this article, we reported draft whole-genome sequences of four Bacillus strains isolated from sourdough and chicken cecum and previously selected as potential probiotics for poultry. These genome sequences will provide a foundation for further characterization and understanding of their probiotic attributes.

Keywords: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; Bacillus subtilis; poultry; probiotic; whole-genome sequences.
