Bacillus velezensis strain:S18 Genome sequencing. Bacillus velezensis strain:S18

The Bacillus velezensis S18 strain, isolated from serpentinite minerals, has been demonstrated to exhibit resistance towards high concentrations of heavy metals, as well as the ability to secrete siderophores. This strain has significant potential for the detoxification and recovery of metals from contaminated surface and groundwater.
