Complete genome sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis YBT-1518, a typical strain with high toxicity to nematodes

Pengxia Wang et al. J Biotechnol. .

Abstract

Bacillus thuringiensis is a ubiquitous spore-forming bacterium and has been widely used as a biopesticide for controlling agricultural insects by the production of insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs). B. thuringiensis YBT-1518 displays effective toxicity to nematodes. This strain harbors three nematicidal crystal protein genes, including cry55Aa1, cry6Aa2 and cry5Ba2, and also contains multiple potential virulence factors. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of B. thuringiensis YBT-1518, which consists of one circular chromosome and six circular plasmids.

Keywords: Bacillus thuringiensis; Genome sequence; Insecticidal crystal protein (ICP); Nematode.
