# Draft genome sequences of 21 Bacillus sp. isolates from raw bovine milk

## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genomes of 21 Bacillus strains from raw milk, which may help understand their role in dairy cattle health.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the sequencing and annotation of 21 Bacillus genomes from raw bovine milk.

## Key findings

- Twenty-one draft genome assemblies of Bacillus strains were generated.
- The genomes are annotated and available for further study on their potential probiotic roles.

## Abstract

Members of the Bacillus genus are commonly used as probiotics in livestock production. We isolated several Bacillus strains from healthy dairy cattle. The role of these strains in mammary health is of interest. Here, we present 21 draft genome assemblies and annotations of Bacillus sp. isolated from fresh raw milk.
