Draft genome sequence of the sponge-associated strain Bacillus atrophaeus C89, a potential producer of marine drugs.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus atrophaeus C89, isolated from the marine sponge Dysidea avara, is a potential producer of bioactive compounds, such as neobacillamide A and bacillamide C. Here, we present a 4.2-Mb assembly of its genome. The nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) make it possible to produce the bioactive compounds.
