Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus cereus strain UAEU-H3K6M1, which was isolated from petroleum sludge in the desert. It is composed of around 5.4 Mbp and has a GC content of 35%. Functional annotation and pathway modeling showed multiple genes with potential bioremediation abilities.

Highlights

  • We report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus cereus strain UAEU-H3K6M1, which was isolated from petroleum sludge in the desert

  • Strain UAEU-H3K6M1 was selected for genome analysis based on the criteria described above

  • The most common subsystems identified by rapid genome annotations using RAST (9) were those related to amino acids and derivatives (n ϭ 495 coding sequences [CDSs]), carbohydrates (n ϭ 421), cofactors, vitamins, prosthetic groups, and pigments (n ϭ 223), cell wall and capsule (n ϭ 169), RNA metabolism (n ϭ 149), membrane transport (n ϭ 147), fatty acids, lipids, and isoprenoids (n ϭ 140), protein metabolism (n ϭ 109), nucleosides and nucleotides (n ϭ 107), and defense (n ϭ 105)

Summary

Introduction

We report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus cereus strain UAEU-H3K6M1, which was isolated from petroleum sludge in the desert. Strain UAEU-H3K6M1 was selected for genome analysis based on the criteria described above. An overnight culture (37°C with gentle shaking) of this strain in nutrient broth was used to isolate genomic DNA using an ABIOPure DNA isolation kit (Alliance Bio, USA).
