# Genomic sequencing of 10 spore-forming Bacilli strains isolated from zoo-dwelling mice

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genomes of 10 spore-forming Bacilli bacteria from zoo mice, suggesting they are part of the gut microbiome.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data for spore-forming Bacilli from rodent gut flora.

## Key findings

- Ten spore-forming Bacillaceae strains were isolated from zoo-dwelling mice feces.
- The isolates suggest Bacillus species are part of rodent gut flora.

## Abstract

We present the genomic sequences of 10 spore-forming bacteria from the Bacillaceae family isolated from fecal samples of mice residing in the Tisch Family Biblical Zoo, Jerusalem. These isolates suggest Bacillus bacteria are a native component of rodent gut flora, facilitating further research into gut colonization and microbiome diversity.
