Draft genome sequence of Bacillus altitudinis strain MSH-24 isolated from rhizosphere soil of Nypa fruticans (Golpata plant) in the mangrove forest in Bangladesh

Abstract

ABSTRACT We report the draft genome of Bacillus altitudinis MSH-24 isolated from rhizosphere soil of Nypa fruticans in Bangladesh. Illumina NovaSeq sequencing generated a 3.9 Mb assembly (41.08% GC) in 22 contigs, revealing genes associated with possible iron acquisition, stress tolerance, sporulation, and germination, highlighting the strain’s environmental adaptability and metabolic versatility.
