Draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. GZT, a 2,4,6-tribromophenol-degrading strain isolated from the river sludge of an electronic waste-dismantling region

Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain GZT, a 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP)-degrading bacterium previously isolated from an electronic waste-dismantling region. The draft genome sequence is 5.18 Mb and has a G+C content of 35.1%. This is the first genome report of a brominated flame retardant-degrading strain.
