Endophytic bacteria associated with wild-type banana seed ( Musa balbisiana ): whole genome sequencing

Abstract

We present the whole-genome sequences of five endophytic bacteria isolated from Musa balbisiana seeds. These strains represent five different genera: Bacillus, Brachybacterium, Enterobacter, Enterococcus, and Pantoea . Among these, three genera ( Bacillus , Pantoea , and Enterobacter ) were previously recognized for their antagonistic effects against Fusarium wilt, a highly destructive disease that affects banana plants.
