Abstract

We present the whole-genome sequences of five endophytic bacteria isolated from Musa balbisiana seeds. These strains represent five different genera: Bacillus, Brachybacterium, Enterobacter, Enterococcus, and Pantoea. Among these, three genera (Bacillus, Pantoea, and Enterobacter) were previously recognized for their antagonistic effects against Fusarium wilt, a highly destructive disease that affects banana plants.
