Bacillus thuringiensis is a ubiquitous spore-forming bacterium and has been widely used as a biopesticide for controlling agricultural insects by the production of insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs). B. thuringiensis YBT-1518 displays effective toxicity to nematodes. This strain harbors three nematicidal crystal protein genes, including cry55Aa1, cry6Aa2 and cry5Ba2, and also contains multiple potential virulence factors. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of B. thuringiensis YBT-1518, which consists of one circular chromosome and six circular plasmids.
苏云金芽孢杆菌是一种广泛存在的产芽孢细菌,已被广泛用作生物杀虫剂,通过产生杀虫晶体蛋白(ICPs)来控制农业害虫。苏云金芽孢杆菌YBT-1518对线虫具有有效的毒性。该菌株含有三个杀线虫晶体蛋白基因,包括cry55Aa1、cry6Aa2和cry5Ba2,并且还含有多种潜在的毒力因子。在此,我们报道了苏云金芽孢杆菌YBT-1518的完整基因组序列,其由一条环状染色体和六个环状质粒组成。
