In this work, we present the complete genome sequence (CGS) of Bacillus halotolerans strain SpS5 isolated from Solanum tuberosum from Tunisia, which consists of 4133407 bp including 4136 protein-coding sequences, 88 tRNA, 1 tmRNA and 43.68 % GC content. The CGS of B. halotolerans strain sequence will bring important information into the implication of key genes associated with its endophytic behaviour, interactions with its hosts as well as its biocontrol mechanisms.

The sequencing of the bacterial strains was supported by the GetGenome initiative of The Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, UK, with support from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBBSRC).
