The Complete Genome Sequence Resource of Rhizospheric Soil-Derived Bacillus velezensis Yao, with Biocontrol Potential Against Fusarium solani -Induced Pepper Root Rot.

The pepper rhizospheric soil-derived Yao from the Shangqiu region of the Henan province in China possesses antagonistic activity against , which causes pepper root rot. In this report, we introduced the entire genomic sequence of Yao, which is 3,951,864 bp long, with 46.61% G+C content, and 4,097 genes. Using antiSMASH analysis, we predicted 12 gene clusters that encode for secondary antimicrobial metabolites and multiple genes that regulate plant bacterial interactions. The Yao genome data may be a valuable resource as this strain may serve as an effective biocontrol agent against pepper root rot.
