Complete Genome Sequences of Four Parageobacillus Strains Isolated from Soil in Japan

Abstract

We isolated four Parageobacillus strains from soil in Japan and completely sequenced their genomes. Three of four strains showed ≥98.9% average nucleotide identity (ANI) to Parageobacillus caldoxylosilyticus S1812 T , while one strain, designated KH3-4, showed the highest ANI (91%) to Parageobacillus thermantarcticus M1 T , suggesting the species novelty of KH3-4.
