Draft genome sequence of a Bacillus cereus isolated from a tilapia tank in Alberta, Canada

Key Points

The aim is to sequence the draft genome of Bacillus cereus isolated from a tilapia aquaponic tank.
Sequencing of the draft genome of Bacillus cereus RAS-11-1
Isolation from a tilapia aquaponic tank
Analyses to predict genes associated with plant growth hormone synthesis
Draft genome size is 5.7 Mb
Identified genes related to indole-3-acetic acid production
Potential use in enhancing plant growth in aquaponic systems

Abstract

We present the 5.7-Mb draft genome sequence of Bacillus cereus RAS-11-1 isolated from a tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) aquaponic tank primarily used for educational purposes in a high school in Alberta, Canada. The strain is predicted to carry trpC for the biosynthesis of plant growth hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).
