Genome sequence of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens GB03, an active ingredient of the first commercial biological control product

Abstract

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens GB03 has been used as a representative commercialized strain of the bacilli for biological control against a broad spectrum of plant pathogens and as a bio-fertilizer to promote growth and yield of field crops for more than two decades. Herein, we present the genome sequence and a brief analysis of strain GB03.
