Complete genome sequence of Paenibacillus polymyxa CR1, a plant growth-promoting bacterium isolated from the corn rhizosphere exhibiting potential for biocontrol, biomass degradation, and biofuel production

Here we report the complete genome sequence of the bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa CR1 (accession no. CP006941), which consists of one circular chromosome of 6,024,666 bp with 5,283 coding sequences (CDS), 87 tRNAs, and 12 rRNA operons. Data presented will allow for further insights into the mechanisms underpinning agriculturally and industrially relevant processes.
