# Whole-genome sequence of Bacillus subtilis ka15: a potent starter isolated from Kawal, a fermented condiment

## TL;DR

This paper presents the whole-genome sequence of a Bacillus subtilis strain isolated from a fermented condiment called Kawal.

## Contribution

The study provides a detailed genomic characterization of a new Bacillus subtilis strain with potential use as a starter culture.

## Key findings

- The genome size is 4,312,934 bp with 244 contigs and a 43.5% GC content.
- The genome contains 4,588 coding genes, 82 tRNAs, 28 rRNAs, and 5 ncRNAs.

## Abstract

Bacillus subtilis named ka15 was isolated from Kawal, a fermented condiment produced from the Senna obtusifolia leaves. The genomic sequence size is 4,312,934 bp with 244 contigs, 43.5% average content of GC, 82 tRNAs, 28 rRNAs, 5 ncRNAs and 4,588 coding genes.
