Draft genome sequence of Bacillus litoralis C44, isolated from Chinese scholar tree (Sophora japonica) forest soil

Abstract

Bacillus litoralis C44 can hydrolyze rutin to produce isoquercetin by the enzyme α-L-rhamnosidase. We report here the genome sequence and annotation result of strain C44. The genomic information will serve as references to the physiology, genetics, and evolution of this species and further genetic engineering research in this species.
