Abstract
Bacillus safensis strain JG-B5T was isolated from soil of the uranium mining waste pile Haberland located near Johanngeorgenstadt, Saxony, Germany. We report here a draft genome sequence (3.7 Mb) of this bacterial strain. The high metal resistance abilities of B. safensis strain JG-B5T can be exploited for bioremediation of metal and metalloid-contaminated environments.
