Priestia aryabhattai strain:KC-6A Genome sequencing and assembly

Peatlands are inherently unsuitable for agriculture because of their high acidity, poor inorganic content, and susceptibility to decomposition and nitrogen accumulation during high summer temperatures. However, bioprospecting for beneficial bacteria associated with decomposing soil organic matter offers a promising utilization of peat soil. We isolated Priestia aryabhattai KC-6A from the peatland in Hokkaido, Japan. Here, we determined its whole-genome sequence to characterize the genetic feature.
