Draft genome sequence of Paenibacillus polymyxa strain Mc5Re-14, an antagonistic root endophyte of Matricaria chamomilla. Draft genome of Paenibacillus polymyxa Mc5Re-14

Paenibacillus polymyxa strain Mc5Re-14 was isolated from the inner root tissue of Matricaria chamomilla (German chamomile). Mc5Re-14 revealed promising in vitro antagonistic activity against plant and opportunistic human pathogens. The 6.0-Mb draft genome reveals genes putatively involved in pathogen suppression and direct and indirect plant growth promotion.
