Genome sequence of Bacillus cereus strain TG1-6, a plant-beneficial rhizobacterium that is highly salt tolerant

Abstract

The complete genome sequence of Bacillus cereus strain TG1-6, which is a highly salt-tolerant rhizobacterium that enhances plant tolerance to drought stress, is reported here. The sequencing process was performed based on a combination of pyrosequencing and single-molecule sequencing. The complete genome is estimated to be approximately 5.42 Mb, containing a total of 5,610 predicted proteincoding DNA sequences (CDSs).
