## Abstract

We report the whole-genome sequence of Bacillus subtilis strain NGII isolated from the rhizospheric soil. Genomic insights deepen understanding of the strain’s potential as a biostimulant in plant protection. Sequencing and assembly yielded a 4.1 Mb genome for B. subtilis NGII with an average GC content of 43.5%.
