Abstract: We report the complete genome sequencing of a bacterial isolate from the native microbiota of Aedes aegypti. Comparative analysis confirms its presence in other insect hosts, including Plutella xylostella, Anopheles gambiae, and Bombyx mori. Genomic features align with previously sequenced strains, supporting its ecological relevance and potential role in insect physiology. This work expands the catalog of insect-associated bacteria and provides a foundation for future symbiosis and vector control studies.
