Draft genome sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis strain DAR 81934, which exhibits molluscicidal activity. [PDF]
Bacillus thuringiensis has been widely used as a biopesticide for a long time. Its molluscicidal activity, however, is rarely realized. Here, we report the genome sequence of B. thuringiensis strain DAR 81934, a strain with molluscicidal activity against
