Abstract

Here, we present the draft genome sequences of three bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus which were isolated from biofouled reverse-osmosis (RO) membranes harvested from a full-scale desalination plant. The sizes of the assembled genomes for RO1, RO2, and RO3 were 4.22 Mb, 4.15 Mb, and 4.23 Mb, respectively.
