## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of a bacteria isolated from aged citrus pericarps that can inhibit several harmful microbes.

## Contribution

The complete genome sequence of Bacillus pumilus X14-67 with antimicrobial activity is presented for the first time.

## Key findings

- Bacillus pumilus X14-67 inhibits Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella paratyphi, and Candida albicans.
- The genome was sequenced and annotated to explore its antimicrobial properties.

## Abstract

Bacillus pumilus X14-67 was isolated from Pericarpium citri reticulatae “Chachiensis,” the natural aged pericarps of Citrus reticulata Blanco. It had inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella paratyphi, and Candida albicans. Here, its genome was sequenced and annotated to understand its antimicrobial properties.
