Abstract

The plant growth-promoting bacterium Bacillus velezensis BS89 was isolated from the rhizosphere of winter wheat. Strain BS89 has the ability to promote plant growth and produce a mix of auxins and vitamins. Here, we sequenced the complete genome of this strain to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying its beneficial activities.
