Genome of Bacillus macauensis ZFHKF-1, a long-chain-forming bacterium

Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus macauensis ZFHKF-1, a novel long-chain bacterium previously isolated and identified by us (Zhang T, Fan XJ, Hanada S, Kamagata Y, Fang HHP, J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol. 56:349-353, 2006).The genome provides basic genetic information to understand this particular species and explore the potential mechanism oflongchain formation. The type strain is ZFHKF-1 (=JCM 13285=DSM 17262). © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
