Abstract

Bacillus firmus DS1, an aerobic, Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium isolated from marine sediment of the China South Sea coast. Here, the first draft genome sequence of B. firmus DS1 that may help us to clarify the evolutionary status of B. firmus, also will give the opportunity to provide the genetic basis for heavy-metal ion absorption in environmental bioremediation, the enzymes in industrial production and more other active ingredients application.

Keywords: Bacillus firmus; Genome; Heavy-metal ion absorption; Marine sediment.
