Abstract:
The lipase-producing strain Bacillus subtilis SPZ1 is isolated from the medium by tributyrin as the sole carbon source. Here, we present a 4.13-Mb assembly of its genome sequence, which may provide various kinds of useful information related to Bacillus spp., such as mechanisms and control of the substrate uptake and protein secretion pathways.
