  A draft genome of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain JJC33M was obtained by direct sequencing of genomic DNA using Illumina sequencing technology. We isolated B. amyloliquefaciens JJC33M from sugarcane soil in the Papaloapan region in Mexico. B. amyloliquefaciens JJC33M produces an -amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) not dependent on calcium, which may give advantages in the production of syrups; it also ...
