Abstract

Bacillus sp. OxB-1 has been characterized as a strain that produces a new enzyme, aldoxime dehydratase, which catalyzes the dehydration of aldoxime to form nitrile. Here, its complete genome sequence (3,594,618 bp, with a GC content of 47.85%), comprising a circular chromosome, is announced.
