The de novo assembly resulted in an estimated chromosome size of 4,042,212 bases and 4,215 CDS. The genome sequence information will help exploit the probiotic potential of the strain. ## Linked entities - **Species:** Bacillus subtilis (taxon 1423), Penaeus monodon (taxon 6687) ## Full-text entities - **Species:** Penaeus monodon (black tiger shrimp, species) [taxon 6687] ## Full text _Full body text omitted from this summary view._ Fetch the complete paper as Markdown: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12352035/full.md ## References 18 references — full list in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12352035/full.md --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12352035
