Draft Genome Sequences of Two Boron-Tolerant, Arsenic-Resistant, Gram-Positive Bacterial Strains, Lysinibacillus sp. OL1 and Enterococcus sp. OL5, Isolated from Boron-Fortified Cauliflower-Growing Field Soils of Northern West Bengal, India

Abstract

Two novel boron-tolerant, arsenic-resistant, Gram-positive bacterial strains, Lysinibacillus sp. OL1 and Enterococcus sp. OL5, were isolated from boron fertilizer-amended cauliflower plantation field soils in India. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of OL1 (4.87 Mb) and OL5 (3.93 Mb) to explore the intricacies of boron tolerance in bacteria.
