The whole-genome shotgun projects for Bacillus cereus 11NM1, Leclercia adecarboxylata 33MP1, and Leclercia adecarboxylata 36MP8 were deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession numbers JAIPUK000000000.1, JAIPRI000000000.1, and JAIPRJ000000000.1, respectively. The SRA accession numbers for the raw reads are SRX12096037, SRX12099443, and SRX12100642, respectively.In this study, we sequenced the entire genomes of three identified rhizobacterial strains associated with maize plantation. Genome annotation of the sequenced data revealed several putative growth-promoting proteins associated with the production of indoleacetic acids and siderophore, the assimilation of nitrogen, and phosphorus solubilization.en© 2022 Notununu et al.
