Draft Genome Sequence of a Polyhydroxyalkanoate-Producing Bacillus cereus Strain Isolated from Nuevo Leon State, Mexico

Abstract

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are microbially produced biopolymers which are biodegradable and biocompatible. These compounds produced by microorganisms have been described as a potent alternative to synthetic plastics, which are often recalcitrant. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a PHA-producing Bacillus cereus isolated in our laboratory.
