    Insights into the draft genome sequence of bioactives-producing Bacillus thuringiensis DNG9 isolated from Algerian soil-oil slough

    Bacillus thuringiensisis widely used as a bioinsecticide due to its ability to form parasporal crystals containingproteinaceous toxins. It is a member of theBacillus cereussensulato, a group with low genetic diversity butproduces several promising antimicrobial compounds.B. thuringiensisDNG9, isolated from an oil-contaminatedslough in Algeria, has strong antibacterial, antifungal and biosurfactant properties. Here, we report the 6.06 Mbpdraft genome sequence ofB. thuringiensisDNG9. The genome encodes several gene inventories for thebiosynthesis of bioactive compounds such as zwittermycin A, petrobactin, insecticidal toxins, polyhydroxyalkanoatesand multiple bacteriocins. We expect the genome information of strain DNG9 will provide another model system tostudy pathogenicity against insect pests, plant diseases, and antimicrobial compound mining and comparativephylogenesis among theBacillus cereussensulatogroup
