Complete genome sequence of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> strain S-LA1, a potential plant probiotic endophyte from the medicinal plant <i>Leucas aspera</i>
ABSTRACT Bacillus subtilis strain S-LA1 is an endophytic bacterium isolated from Leucas aspera roots that harbors a 4.2 Mbp genome predicted to encode several traits for nutrient acquisition, plant growth promotion, and plant probiotic efficacy. Genomic characterization underscores its potential as a microbial resource supporting sustainable agriculture and crop disease management strategies.
