Here, we announce the draft genome sequences of four endophytic bacilli isolated from surface-sterilized seeds of three cucurbit species, Bacillus sp. strains EKM417B and EKM420B (from Citrullus lanata [watermelon]) and EKM501B (from Cucurbita moschata [butternut squash]) and Paenibacillus sp. strain EKM301P (from Cucurbita pepo L. var. pepo L. [pumpkin]). These strains previously demonstrated biostimulant and biocontrol activities.
