Abstract

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