Draft Genome Report of Bacillus altitudinis SORB11, Isolated from the Indian Sector of the Southern OceanUHalderauthorABanerjeeauthorVChaudhryauthorR KVarshneyauthorSMantriauthorRBandopadhyayauthorHere, we present the draft genome sequence of Bacillus altitudinis SORB11, which is tolerant to UV radiation. The strain was isolated from the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean at a depth of 3.8 km. The genome sequence information reported here for B. altitudinis SORB11 gives the basis of its UV resistance mechanism and provides data for further comparative studies with other bacteria resistant to UV radiation.Genetics and Genomics2017-06-08American Society for MicrobiologyArticle
