Abstract
Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, widely distributed bacterium that has a high level of metabolite production. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a B. cereus strain exhibiting high and diverse hydrolytic potential that was isolated from glacial water samples from Svalbard, Norway.
Highlights
Bacillus cereus is a Gram᎑positive, widely distributed bacterium that has a high level of metabolite production
Bacillus cereus ET31 was identified among 300 bacterial isolates obtained from glacier water from geologically and hydrologically diverse regions of southern Svalbard
The DNA was sent to MicrobesNG, a next-generation sequencing (NGS) service provider in the United Kingdom, for 16S rRNA and whole-genome sequencing
Summary
Bacillus cereus is a Gram᎑positive, widely distributed bacterium that has a high level of metabolite production. This article reports the draft genome sequences of B. cereus strain ET31, isolated from glacial water in Svalbard, Norway [10]. Bacteria were isolated on Antarctic bacterial medium (ABM) agar (0.5% [wt/vol] peptone, 0.2% [wt/vol] yeast extract, and 1.5% [wt/vol] agar, pH 7.0) at 12°C under aerobic conditions. Bacillus cereus ET31 was identified among 300 bacterial isolates obtained from glacier water from geologically and hydrologically diverse regions of southern Svalbard.
