Abstract

Paenibacillus sp. A59 was isolated from decaying forest soil in Argentina and characterized as a xylanolytic strain. We report the draft genome sequence of this isolate, with an estimated genome size of 7 Mb which harbor 6,424 coding sequences. Genes coding for hydrolytic enzymes involved in lignocellulose deconstruction were predicted.
