Draft genome sequence of plant growth-promoting and drought-tolerant Bacillus altitudinis FD48, isolated from rice phylloplane

Abstract

The genome sequence of a temperature-tolerant strain, Bacillus altitudinis FD48, is described here. The reads were assembled into contigs with a total size of 3.7 Mb. The genome information will aid in understanding its role in alleviating stress in crop plants as a potential bioinoculant for agricultural applications.
