Fictibacillus arsenicus G25-54 displays nematicidal capability against root-knot nematodes (RKNs) and Caenorhabditis elegans, implying it is a good bionematicide candidate for controlling crop root-knot nematodes, which infect almost all crops and cause huge economic losses in agriculture around the world. This is the first released complete genome sequences of Fictibacillus arsenicus. G25-54 is the first strain with nematicidal activity of F. arsenicus. Ten potential virulence factors and twelve secondary metabolites which may contribute to nematicidal activity of F. arsenicus G25-54 were identified in its genome. Additionally, F. arsenicus G25-54 encodes five arsenic resistance and transformation related proteins, which may provide its potential arsenic-resistance activity.
