title: Bacillus safensis strain PJRB1
organism: Bacillus safensis
description: Three bacterial strains of Bacillus spp. having high polygalacturonase, pectin lyase, and xylanase activity, but no cellulase activity was developed as an effective microbial retting consortium for water-retting of jute and mesta fibres. The whole-genome sequencing of these three strains was performed in Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. These genome resources will serve as a foundation for the identification of key genes to improve retting efficiency for enhancing fibre quality and developing genome-specific markers for strain typing.
