Abstract

Bacillus cereus sensu lato (s.l.) poses health and security issues. Here, we report the reference genome assembly of two Bacillus cereus s.l. strains, isolated from Etosha National Park, Namibia (FFI_BCgr36 and FFI_BCgr46). These unique genomes open for better understanding of environmental diversity and improvements in detection of threatening species.

Keywords: Bacillus; Bacillus cereus; genome analysis.
