Abstract

Paenibacillus polymyxa SRT9.1 is an epiphytic bacterium capable of inhibiting plant-pathogenic bacteria. The strain has potential for development as a biocontrol agent for use in agriculture. We report the whole-genome sequence of Paenibacillus polymyxa SRT9.1, consisting of 6,754,470 bp and 7,878 coding sequences, with an average G+C content of 45%.
