Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus niacini JAM F8, which was newly isolated from deep-sea sediment at a depth of 2,759 m from the Izu-Ogasawara Trench. An array of genes related to degradation of glycosaminoglycans in this bacterium was identified by whole-genome analysis.
