Abstract

We report the draft genome sequences of Bacillus glennii V44-8, Bacillus saganii V47-23a, and Bacillus sp. strain V59.32b, isolated from the Viking spacecraft assembly cleanroom, and Bacillus sp. strain MER_TA_151 and Paenibacillus sp. strain MER_111, isolated from the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) assembly cleanroom.

Highlights

We report the draft genome sequences of Bacillus glennii V44-8, Bacillus saganii V47-23a, and Bacillus sp. strain V59.32b, isolated from the Viking spacecraft assembly cleanroom, and Bacillus sp. strain MER_TA_151 and Paenibacillus sp. strain MER_111, isolated from the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) assembly cleanroom
The whole-genome shotgun sequencing projects were deposited in GenBank and the raw sequencing reads in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive under the accession numbers QVTD00000000.1 and SRR11096019 (Bacillus glennii V44-8), QVTE00000000.1 and SRR11096037 (Bacillus saganii V47-23a), QVTC00000000 and SRR11097317 (Bacillus sp. strain V59.32b), VYKL00000000 and SRR11096322 (Bacillus sp. strain MER_TA_151), and VYKK00000000 and SRR11097201 (Paenibacillus sp. strain MER_111), respectively
We acknowledge Jonathan Eisen and Alvin Smith for preliminary discussions about the workshop
