Draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain M21, isolated from the arid area of Matmata, Tunisia

Abstract

Bacillus sp. strain M21 was isolated from an environmental sample. In antibacterial screenings, the strain inhibited growth of Gram-positive and Gramnegative test strains. The genome was assembled into 69 contigs with a total size of 5.178 Mb. The strain contains at least nine biosynthetic gene clusters for the production of specialized metabolites.
