Abstract
Bacillus spp. are bacteria recognized for enhancing plant growth. This study presents the genomic characterization of Bacillus velezensis (strains 6E9 and 5D5) and Bacillus subtilis (strains 2E7, 1A11, and 1H10), isolated from soils of the Brazilian Caatinga biome. Genomic insights reveal their potential for bioproducts that enhance crop drought resilience.
