Draft genome sequence of a cellulase-producing psychrotrophic Paenibacillus strain, IHB B 3415, isolated from the cold environment of the western Himalayas, India

Abstract

Paenibacillus sp. strain IHB B 3415 is a cellulase-producing psychrotrophic bacterium isolated from a soil sample from the cold deserts of Himachal Pradesh, India. Here, we report an 8.44-Mb assembly of its genome sequence with a G+C content of 50.77%. The data presented here will provide insights into the mechanisms of cellulose degradation at low temperature.
