Abstract

The whole genomes of 78 Bacillus and Priestia strains isolated from West African fermented foods (n = 52) or acquired from a public culture collection (n = 26) were sequenced using long-read sequencing and assembled into draft (n = 32) and complete (n = 46) genomes, allowing comparative genomics and taxonomic assignment of these strains with putative uses in fermented foods.
