Draft genome sequences of three strains of Geobacillus stearothermophilus isolated from a milk powder manufacturing plant

Abstract

Three strains of Geobacillus stearothermophilus (designated A1, P3, and D1) were isolated from a New Zealand milk powder manufacturing plant. Here, we describe their draft genome sequences. This information provided the first genomic insights into the nature of G. stearothermophilus strains present in the milk powder manufacturing environment.
