Bacillus pumilus strain:CB01 Genome sequencing and assembly. Bacillus pumilus strain:CB01

Bacillus pumilus is a gram-positive, aerobic, spore-forming bacterium found commonly in soil. The spores allow this organism to be resistant to many adverse environmental conditions, including heat, desiccation, and disinfection. B. pumilus has been shown to produce and secrete antifungal agents, promote plant growth, degrade pesticides, and control insect larvae. This bacterium has been associated with animals as well. More recently, B. pumilus has also been shown to be associated with infection, including sepsis in neonates, and cutaneous and catheter infections.
