Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus altitudinis Lc5, a biocontrol and plant growth-promoting endophyte strain isolated from indigenous black rice of Manipur

Abstract

We report here the 3.6-Mb draft genome of Bacillus altitudinis Lc5, a potential plant growth promoter and an active antagonistic endophyte of black rice. This genome study will provide better insights into the strain’s mechanisms for plant growth promotion and biocontrol, thus facilitating its application in organic agriculture.
