title: Draft Genome Sequence ofBacillus licheniformisVSD4, a Diesel Fuel-Degrading and Plant Growth-Promoting Phyllospheric Bacterium.
abstract: We report here the 4.19-Mb draft genome sequence ofBacillus licheniformisVSD4, a Gram-positive bacterium of theBacillaceaefamily, isolated from leaves ofHedera helixgrowing at a high-traffic city center in Belgium. Knowledge about its genome will help to evaluate its potential as an inoculant in phylloremediation applications.
