Genomic characterization and production of antimicrobial lipopeptides by Bacillus velezensis P45 growing on feather by-products.

Aims: To investigate the potential of novel Bacillus velezensis P45 as an eco-friendly alternative for bioprocessing poultry by-products into valuable antimicrobial products.

Methods And Results: The complete genome of B. velezensis P45 was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform, showing 4455 protein and 98 RNA coding sequences according to the annotation on the RAST server.
