Draft Genome Sequence of Strain BF-4, a Lysinibacillus-Like Bacillus Isolated during an Anthrax Outbreak in Bavaria

We report the draft genome sequence of Lysinibacillus sp. strain BF-4. Strain BF-4 has a notably small genome for a free-living bacillus, with a size of 2.63 Mbp. In agreement with phenotypic observations, the genome lacks genes essential for endospore formation.
