Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus wiedmannii Biovar thuringiensis ZZQ-138, Isolated from a Saline Lake.

Ecologically sound approaches to control mosquitoes like Anopheles stephensi, which are obligatory vectors for malaria transmission, are urgently needed because of increasing insecticide resistance. Bacteria from Bacillus are important resources. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of Bacillus wiedmannii biovar thuringiensis ZZQ-138, which was isolated from sediment from a saline lake.

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis ZZQ-130 with Multiple Pesticidal Genes, Isolated from Caka Salt Lake, China.

Bacillus thuringiensis is a typical pesticide, with global application for over 40 years. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. thuringiensis ZZQ-130 from a salt lake; this strain has 31 pesticidal genes, including five cry genes, one vip gene, two vpa genes, and two vpb genes.
