Bacillus spp. have been used as biocontrol agents against soilborne pathogens because they produce secondary metabolites that exhibit a wide range of antibacterial or antifungal properties. In this study, a novel strain of Bacillus glycinifermentans sp. (JRCGR-1) was identified and its genome was sequenced and annotated. The genome was explored for putative genes involved in antimicrobial activity.
