Genome sequence of Bacillus sp. CHD6a, isolated from the shallow-sea hydrothermal vent.

Abstract Bacillus sp. CHD6a, which can produce oval endosperms, isolated from the shallow-sea hydrothermal vent systems off northeast Taiwan's coast. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. CHD6a. It comprises ~ 3.97 Mb in 55 contigs with the G + C content of 39.9%, and a total of 3740 protein-coding genes were obtained.
