Whole-genome sequences of 20 <i>Bacillus cereus</i> strains isolated from various environments

We report whole-genome sequences of 20 <i>Bacillus cereus sensu lato</i> strains from plant-based fermentations, foodborne outbreaks, environmental sources, and dairy plants. Genomic DNA was extracted and sequenced using Oxford Nanopore Technology. These complete assemblies provide high-quality resources for taxonomic resolution and comparative analyses of pathogenicity within the <i>B. cereus</i> group.
