Abstract

Limited information is available on the whole-genome sequences of Kurthia spp. Here, we report, for the first time, the draft genome sequence of Kurthia gibsonii designated as strain B83. The strain was isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaf. The genome was sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq 500 platform.
