title: Genome of Bacillus macauensis ZFHKF-1, a long-chain-forming bacterium.
abstract: Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus macauensis ZFHKF-1, a novel long-chain bacterium previously isolated and identified by us (Zhang T, Fan XJ, Hanada S, Kamagata Y, Fang HHP, J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol. 56:349-353, 2006). The genome provides basic genetic information to understand this particular species and explore the potential mechanism of long-chain formation. The type strain is ZFHKF-1 (= JCM 13285 = DSM 17262).
