Draft genome sequences of three cellulolytic Bacillus licheniformis strains isolated from Imperial Geyser, Amphitheater Springs, and Whiterock Springs inside Yellowstone National Park

Abstract

Novel cellulolytic microorganisms are becoming more important for rapidly growing biofuel industries. This paper reports the draft genome sequences of Bacillus licheniformis strains YNP2-TSU, YNP3-TSU, and YNP5-TSU. These cellulolytic isolates were collected from several hydrothermal features inside Yellowstone National Park.
