Draft Genome Sequences of Sporulation-Impaired Bacillus pumilus Strain NRS576 and Its Native Plasmid p576

Open Access

Abstract

Bacillus pumilus spores can cause foodborne poisonings. B. pumilus strain NRS576 forms spores with a very reduced efficiency due to the presence of a plasmid, named p576. Here, we report the genome sequence of strain B. pumilus NRS576 and its plasmid p576 ; Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of the Spanish Government (grant number BIO2016-77883-C2-1-P to W.J.J.M., which also funded J.V.-C., A.M.-A., and C.G.-C.) ; Peer reviewed
