title: Genome Sequence of the Alkaliphilic Bacterial Strain Bacillus ligninesis L1, a Novel Degrader of Lignin.
abstract: Bacillus ligninesis strain L1, isolated from seafloor sediment, was able to grow on medium with lignin as its sole carbon source. Here, we report a 3.8-Mbp high-quality genome sequence for this bacterium. The genes involving ectoine and glycine betaine synthesis, as well as those involved in the degradation of lignin, were identified.
