Abstract
Objectives: Bacillus species, belonging to the family Bacillaceae, are rod-shaped aerobic or facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria that can be isolated from various environmental niches. Bacillus pumilus strains are resistant to unfavorable conditions such as UV, H2O2 and chemical disinfection. Furthermore, B. pumilus strains synthesize multifarious important enzymes and can be used in the production of some fermented foods, bioremediation of wastewater systems and biodegradation of environmental contaminants. Hence, investigation at the genomic level is required to understand their ecology, genetics and potential applications. Data description: In this research, we provide the genomic insights into one Bacillus species (EZ-C07) isolated from digested agricultural waste materials. The draft genome of the strain EZ-C07 consists of 3,724,869 bp with 3890 coding sequences and 41.5% G + C content. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis followed by in silico DNA-DNA hybridization studies, the strain EZ-C07 was identified as Bacillus pumilus belonging to the family Bacillaceae within the phylum Firmicutes. The whole genome shotgun project of B. pumilus strain EZ-C07 can be accessed at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the Accession QLVI00000000.
