Bacillus velezensis D-18: Genomic Data for Aquaculture Probiotic Potential

A genomic dataset for the Bacillus velezensis D-18 strain, characterized for potential probiotic use in aquaculture. The draft genome is approximately 4.06 Mb and contains 4,178 protein-coding genes and 84 RNA genes. It was authored by Luis Monzón-Atienza and last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the taxonomic placement within the B. velezensis lineage
• Biosafety screening based on the absence of detected antimicrobial resistance or virulence genes
• Functional annotation of probiotic traits based on genetic determinants for quorum quenching, biofilm formation, and stress tolerance
• Metabolite discovery based on the seven identified biosynthetic gene clusters encoding surfactin, fengycin, bacilysin, and macrolactin

Strengths

• Genome size and gene count are explicitly provided (4.06 Mb, 4,178 protein-coding genes)
• Functional annotation includes specific traits like quorum quenching and antimicrobial activity
• Biosafety is supported by genome-wide screening for antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is small (3.2 MB), which may indicate limited scope or a single-genome focus
