Abstract

The isolation of novel microbes from environmental samples continues to be a key strategy for the discovery of new metabolic capacities for the degradation and transformation of lignocellulose. We report the draft genome sequence of a new strain of Brevibacillus borstelensis isolated from a sorghum-adapted microbial community derived from a compost sample.

Highlights

  • B. borstelensis SDM was isolated by spreading an enrichment culture of green waste compost obtained from the city of Berkeley, California, incubated with sorghum in M9TE [7] on Luria Bertani (LB) solid medium and incubating it overnight at 50°C

  • We report the draft genome sequence of a new strain of Brevibacillus borstelensis isolated from a sorghum-adapted microbial community derived from a compost sample

  • A new strain of Brevibacillus borstelensis was isolated from a compost-derived microbial community enriched on untreated sorghum biomass
