Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus sp. Strain EKM601B (Phylum Firmicutes), Living inside the Seeds of Luffa acutangula (Chinese Okra).

Presented here is the draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain EKM601B, which contains 4,199,360 bp in 73 contigs. This candidate endophyte was isolated from surface-sterilized dry seeds of Luffa acutangula (Chinese okra) and demonstrated diverse plant-beneficial functions and antagonism against soilborne pathogens in vitro.
