title: Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus Species from the Rhizosphere of the Desert Plant Rhazya stricta.
abstract: In order to better understand the ecology and diversity of microbes in the rhizosphere of desert plants, we undertook a survey of Bacillus species isolated from soil around Rhazya stricta plants from the area around Jeddah, in The Kingdom, Saudi Arabia. We have sequenced the genomes of 8 Bacillus isolates representing four different species.
