Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus subtilis TLO3, Isolated from Olive Tree Rhizosphere Soil.

In this paper, we report Bacillus subtilis TLO3, which was isolated from olive tree rhizosphere and exhibits high amylolytic activity. The genome of Bacillus subtilis TLO3 contains 4,071 protein-coding sequences carried on one chromosome (4,232,155 bp) with an average G+C content of 44.1% and 119 RNA molecules. The gene encoding α-amylase was detected, as well as other genes related to starch and cellulose hydrolysis, making the strain a potential candidate for industrial treatment of starch and lignocellulose biomasses.
