Whole genome sequence datasets of Priestia megaterium species and Pseudomonas machongensis from the cowpea rhizosphere

L.). Genomic DNA was extracted from pure cultures and sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. Raw reads were quality-checked and assembled into draft genomes using standard bioinformatics pipelines. The assembled genome sizes were 5696,169 bp for strain E2 (GC content 63.1%), 5737,221 bp for strain F2 (GC content 37.6%), and 5068,091 bp for strain Q2 (GC content 38.2%). Genome annotation was performed using automated annotation tools, identifying 5144, 6011, and 5317 genes in E2, F2, and Q2, respectively. The dataset includes assembled genome sequences and corresponding annotations, with predicted genes associated with environmental adaptation, nutrient acquisition, and microbial interactions. Biosynthetic gene cluster analysis identified terpene, non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), NRPS-like, and phosphonate-associated clusters across the genomes. These data provide genomic information relevant to rhizosphere-associated bacteria isolated from cowpea under drought-prone conditions.
