Abstract

Bacillus halotolerans F29-3, a Gram-positive bacterium, is recognized for its synthesis of the antifungal substance fengycin. This announcement introduces the complete genome sequence and provides insights into the genetic products related to antibiotic secondary metabolites, including non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), polyketide synthase (PKS), and NRPS/PKS combination.

Keywords: Bacillus halotolerans; Bacillus subtilis; fengycin; non-ribosomal peptide synthetase; polyketide synthase.
