Draft genome sequence of <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> C18, a multifunctional isolate from oil palm phyllosphere
<i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> strain C18, isolated from the oil palm phyllosphere, produces parasporal crystals and exhibits plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits. Its 6.1 Mb draft genome encodes an insecticidal <i>Spp1Aa1</i> gene, antimicrobial biosynthetic clusters, and a repertoire of PGP genes, highlighting its dual roles in biocontrol and plant growth promotion.
