Abstrakt: Bacillus sp. isolate EB-40 was characterized in 'Prata Anã' banana (Musa sp.) plants as an endophyte capable of colonizing both the inter- and intracellular spaces of roots, nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, in vitro synthesis of indole-3-acetic acid, and promotion of the development of micropropagated banana seedlings. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of Bacillus sp. isolate EB-40 and its taxonomic assignment. Its genome is composed of one chromosome and three plasmids. The circular double-stranded DNA chromosome (5,613,235 base pairs (bp)) has a GC content of 35.3% and 5462 genes. The three plasmids have a total length of 237,685 bp with 201 genes. Comparative genomics revealed that its genome shares similarity indices with Bacillus cereus genomes above the thresholds recommended for species assignment.Article Highlights: B. cereus EB-40 is a novel bacterium with phosphorus-solubilizing activity, nitrogen fixation ability and IAA production ability. The genome of B. cereus EB-40 consists of a circular double-stranded chromosome and three plasmids. The complete genome sequence of strain EB-40 provides a genetic basis for multifunctional biofertilizers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
