Abstract

Bacillus safensis strain WOB7 is a linamarin-utilizing bacterium (LUB) that was isolated from cassava wastewater obtained from a processing factory. We present here the draft genome sequence of the strain (WOB7). These data provide valuable information on the prospects of the linamarase and other genes of importance associated with cyanogen detoxification.

Keywords: Bacillus safensis; cassava wastewater; cyanogen; detoxify; linamarin-utilizing bacterium; whole-genome sequence.
