Draft genome sequence data of a chromium reducing bacterium, Bacillus licheniformis strain KNP

摘要

A chromium-reducing bacterium designated as strain KNP was isolated from a sample collected from a tannery effluent of Kanpur, India. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain KNP belonged to theBacillusgenus and showed 100% similarity withBacillus licheniformis. Furthermore, average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization between strain KNP and its closely related strains confirmed its affiliation withBacillus licheniformisspecies.Whole-genome sequencing ofBacillus licheniformisKNP was performed using the Illumina Hiseq platform. Here, we present the draft genome sequence ofBacillus licheniformisKNP. The total size of the draft assembly was 4,280,093?bp, distributed into 21 contigs with an N50 value of 4,186,229. The genome has 45.9% G?+?C content, 4255 coding sequences and 86 putative RNA genes. This Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession JACDXS000000000. The version described in this paper is version JACDXS010000000.
