Genomic DNA from BiotGm was prepared using the procedure reported66 (link). The BiotGm genome was sequenced using the Pacific Biosciences RS II (Pacific Biosciences, Menlo Park, CA, USA) sequencing platform. The sequencing depth was ~200-fold coverages. De novo assembly of PacBio reads was carried out using RS_HGAP_Assembly.3 protocol included in SMRT portal. Genome annotation was performed by the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Automatic Annotation Pipeline. Composition vector tree (CVTree) phylogenetic analysis was performed using a free, web-based tool-the Bacillus Typing Bioinformatics Database (https://btbidb.com)67 (link). The genome data of other B. thuringiensis strains were selected in the database to generate the phylogenetic tree.
