The Complete Genome Sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis Strain ATCC 13367 Features a cry -Containing Chromosome

Abstract

We report the high-quality closed genome sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis ATCC 13367, which is used as a bioinsecticide. The genome features a 328-kbp plasmid and a 5.8-Mbp chromosome. The genome is atypical for the species since it lacks a plasmid pesticidal crystal protein ( cry ) gene and instead features a chromosomal cry gene like that of B. thuringiensis HER1410.
