Key Points

To present the draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. 5w2 and investigate its potential for polyhydroxyalkanoate production.
Sequenced the draft genome containing 43 scaffolds.
Analyzed genomic features including genome size and GC content.
Identified pha loci associated with biopolymer biosynthesis.
The total genome size is 5.78 Mb with a GC content of 35.5%.
The strain is predicted to possess loci necessary for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates.

Implication

Genome sequencing reveals potential for PHA production in Bacillus Sp. 5w2, highlighting its biotechnological promise.

Abstract

We present the draft genome of Bacillus sp . 5w2 containing 43 scaffolds with a total genome size of 5.78 Mb and a GC content of 35.5%. The strain is predicted to carry pha loci for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates.
