During laboratory cultivation of the myxobacterium Archangium violaceum strain Cb vi76, a reoccurring contaminant was isolated and sequenced. Comparative taxonomic analysis of the draft genome suggested the contaminant to be a novel species, currently designated Aneurinibacillus sp. strain BA2021, from the genus Aneurinibacillus , members of which are considered promising biocontrol agents.
