# Draft genome of Bacillus subtilis sp. strain UAMC isolated from agricultural soil with historical use of pesticides in Argentina

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a soil bacterium from Argentina, highlighting its potential to degrade pesticides like endosulfan.

## Contribution

The study provides a draft genome of a pesticide-exposed Bacillus subtilis strain with genes for endosulfan degradation.

## Key findings

- The genome contains 7,892 genes across 40 contigs.
- Genes like FMNH2 monooxygenase and cytochrome p450 are linked to endosulfan degradation.

## Abstract

To understand microbial metabolism in horticultural soils exposed to pesticides, genome sequencing of Bacillus subtilis sp. strain UAMC was performed. A total of 7,892 genes distributed across 40 contigs were identified. Among these, those related to the degradation of endosulfan such as FMNH2 monooxygenase, or cytochrome p450 stand out.
