Draft genome sequence data of Paenibacillus Polymyxa strain TH2H2, isolated from a tomato flower in Korea

Abstract

Members of the genus Paenibacillus are known for their production of useful substances, and some species of the genus are recognized to be plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. Paenibacillus polymyxa TH2H2, isolated from a tomato flower, had antifungal activity. Here, the draft genome sequence of Paenibacillus polymyxa TH2H2 is reported. The 5,983,104-bp genome, with a G+C content of 45.31%, comprised 5,221 protein-coding genes, 64 ribosomal RNA and 100 transfer RNA. Three intact antibiotic biosynthesis gene clusters were identified using antiSMASH. These encoded the anti-fungal agent fusaricidin and two antibacterial agents, tride-captin and polymyxin. Sequence data have been deposited in the DDBJ/ENA/GenBank database under the accession number RPDG01000000. The version described in this paper is RPDG00000000.1. The BioProject ID in the GenBank database is PRJNA505713. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
