Interpretive Summary: This resource announcement describes the genome sequences of three bacterial isolates obtained from vine mealybugs. These isolates are classified as Streptomyces sp., Paenibacillus sp., and Bacillus mobilis, and are able to digest chitin which is an indication of biological control potential.

Technical Abstract: Vine mealybugs (Planococcus ficus) are an important vineyard pest. This resource announcement describes the genome sequences of three bacterial isolates from vine mealybugs that show chitinolytic activity, a trait associated with biological control potential. These isolates are classified as Streptomyces sp., Paenibacillus sp., and Bacillus mobilis.
