Abstract

Linamarin-utilizing bacterium (LUB) is a microorganism that uses and breaks down cassava's principal cyanogenic compound, linamarin. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Bacillus safensis strain WOB3 (previously Bacillus pumilus strain WOB3) sequenced and assembled with a total reads of 8,750,054 bp. The genome has 1,269 contigs and, G+C content of 41.55%. The genome has 4,749 total genes, 4,614 protein-coding sequences (CDSs), 3, 8 and 10 rRNA genes, 74 tRNA genes, and 5 ncRNA genes. This whole genome shotgun project has been deposited in GenBank under accession number JAYSGU000000000.
