Draft Genome Sequence of Priestia megaterium MWU16-30321, Isolated from a Cranberry Stem Gall in Massachusetts

Priestia megaterium MWU16-30321 was isolated from a mixed bacterial culture in a cranberry stem gall in Massachusetts following a severe winter. The genome is 5,623,390 bp in size and putatively encodes indole-3-acetic acid acetyltransferase, a key enzyme in tryptophan-dependent indole-3-acetic acid production.
