# Complete genome sequence of plant growth-promoting Bacillus stratosphericus AIMST-CREST02 isolated from bulk soil of a paddy field

## TL;DR

This paper reports the complete genome sequence of a soil bacterium that promotes plant growth and is found in a productive paddy field.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of Bacillus stratosphericus AIMST-CREST02, highlighting its plant growth-promoting potential.

## Key findings

- The genome is 3,840,451 bp in size with a GC content of 41.25%.
- The genome contains genes related to auxin biosynthesis regulation and GABA metabolism.

## Abstract

Here, we present the complete genome of a plant growth-promoting strain, Bacillus stratosphericus AIMST-CREST02 isolated from the bulk soil of a high-yielding paddy plot. The genome is 3,840,451 bp in size with a GC content of 41.25%. Annotation predicted the presence of 3,907 coding sequences, including genes involved in auxin biosynthesis regulation and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolism.
