Summary

Researchers sequenced the draft genome of Bacillus pretiosus isolated from landfill soil in the Philippines, identifying biosynthetic gene clusters and candidate plastic-degrading genes that point to this organism as a potential resource for bioremediation of plastic waste.

The rapid escalation of plastic pollution necessitates sustainable microbial solutions, particularly from organisms inhabiting waste-rich environments. This study reports the draft genome sequence of Bacillus pretiosus, isolated from landfill soil in Iloilo City, Philippines, with pre...
