Here, we report the draft genome sequences of seven Paenibacillus sp. strains (EKM202P, EKM205P, EKM206P, EKM207P, EKM208P, EKM211P, and EKM212P) that were previously isolated from cultivated surface-sterilized seeds of Cucumis melo L. (cantaloupe). These candidate Paenibacillus plant probiotics displayed in vitro growth-promoting traits and suppressive activity against root-associated fungal/oomycete pathogens.
