Draft Genome Sequence of the Thermophilic Bacterium Bacillus licheniformis SMIA-2, an Antimicrobial- and Thermostable Enzyme-Producing Isolate from Brazilian Soil

Abstract

<i>Bacillus licheniformis</i> SMIA-2, a thermophilic and thermostable enzyme-producing bacterium, is found to be active against several strains of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and several <i>Bacillus</i> species. Here, we report the 4.30-Mbp draft genome and bioinformatic predictions supporting gene inventories for amylase, protease, cellulase, xylanase, and antimicrobial compound biosynthesis.
