Analysis of the Complete Genome Sequence of Bacillus atrophaeus GQJK17 Reveals Its Biocontrol Characteristics as a Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterium

Bacillus atrophaeus GQJK17 was isolated from the rhizosphere of Lycium barbarum L. in China, which was shown to be a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium as a new biological agent against pathogenic fungi and gram-positive bacteria. We present its biological characteristics and complete genome sequence, which contains a 4,325,818 bp circular chromosome with 4,181 coding DNA sequences and a G
