Abstract
The Bacillus velezensis strain NBNZ-0060 was isolated from the bottom sediment samples of the lake Jin in Wuhan, China. This strain is an aerobic denitrifying bacterium and able to promote growth of submerged macrophytes. The 3,929,784 bp entire genome contains 3,781 coding sequences (CDS), 27 rRNAs, 85 tRNAs, 5 ncRNAs, with an average G + C content of 46.5%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA values between strain NBNZ-0060 and Bacillus velezensis NRRL B-41580(T) were 98.28% and 84.5%, respectively. The genome data have been deposited in NCBI with the accession number CP133277.1.
