Genome Sequence of Methylotrophic Azospirillum sp. Strain B2, Isolated from a Raised Sphagnum Bog

Abstract

<i>Azospirillum</i> sp. strain B2 is a soil bacterium which was originally isolated from the Sosvyatskoe raised <i>Sphagnum</i> bog in Russia. Here, we present the approximately 8-Mb draft genome sequence of <i>Azospirillum</i> sp. B2, with the aim of providing insight into the genomic basis of its ecological success in peatland settings.
