Abstract:
Bacillus thuringiensis is an agriculturally significant bacterium and common biological pesticide. B. thuringiensis strain MW was isolated from a freshwater stream in Mont Vernon, NH, and sequenced. A draft genome assembly of 5,935,630 bp with a G+C content of 34.86% and an N 50 value of 1,154,949 bp was generated.
