Abstract

Bacillus mycoides GM6LP is an endophyte isolated from plant tissues of Lolium perenne L. Here, we report its draft genome sequence (6.2 Mb), which contains 96 contigs and 6,129 protein-coding genes. Knowledge about its genome will enable us to evaluate the potential use of GM6LP as a plant growth-promoting bacterium.
