Bacillus cereus is a gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium possessing an important and historical record as a human-pathogenic bacterium. However, several strains of this species exhibit interesting potential to be used as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. cereus strain CITVM-11.1, which consists of 37 contig sequences, accounting for 5,746,486 bp (with a GC content of 34.8%) and 5,752 predicted protein-coding sequences. Several of them could potentially be involved in plant-bacterium interactions and may contribute to the strong antagonistic activity shown by this strain against the charcoal root rot fungus, Macrophomina phaseolina. This genomic sequence also showed a number of genes that may confer this strain resistance against several polluting heavy metals and for the bioconversion of mycotoxins.

蜡状芽孢杆菌CITVM-11.1，一种表现出有趣的抗真菌活性的菌株的基因组序列草案。

蜡状芽孢杆菌是革兰氏阳性，形成孢子的细菌，具有作为人类致病细菌的重要历史记录。然而，该物种的一些菌株显示出有趣的潜力，可以用作促进植物生长的根瘤菌。在这里，我们报告了蜡样芽孢杆菌菌株CITVM-11.1的基因组序列草案，该序列由37个重叠群序列组成，占5,746,486 bp（GC含量为34.8％）和5,752个预测的蛋白质编码序列。它们中的一些可能潜在地参与植物-细菌相互作用，并且可能有助于该菌株显示出对木炭根腐真菌巨噬相菜豆的强拮抗活性。
