Here, we report 10 distinct bacterial genomes from Amazonian dark earths, including six identified as Paenibacillus polymyxa, while the remaining four were unique representatives of Paenibacillus vini, Bacillus cereus, Brevibacillus agri, and Fictibacillus sp., respectively. Each strain exhibited antagonistic activity against Fusarium oxysporum, underscoring their potential as sustainable agriculture resources.
