Abstract
Bacillus asahii strain OM18, a bacterium in relation to soil fertility, was isolated from alkaline soils under long-term organic manure application in the North China Plain. B. asahii species play a pivotal role in the promotion of both crop yield and soil fertility via accelerating carbon and phosphorus cycling. However, little is known about the characteristics of B. asahii and its underlying molecular mechanism involved in soil nutrient cycling as well as its potential in promoting crop growth. To this end, we report the characteristics and complete genome analysis of strain OM18, which is relevant to promoting plant growth in phosphorus-deficient alkaline soils. Our results provide a glimpse into the metabolic function of B. asahii OM18.
