TL;DR
This paper reports the genome sequence of a bacterium that can break down linamarin, a toxic compound found in cassava wastewater.
Contribution
The study provides a draft genome sequence of a linamarin-utilizing bacterium isolated from Nigerian cassava wastewater.
Findings
The genome sequence of Bacillus safensis strain WOB7 was successfully generated.
The genome contains genes potentially involved in linamarin detoxification, including linamarase.
Abstract
Bacillus safensis strain WOB7 is a linamarin-utilizing bacterium (LUB) that was isolated from cassava wastewater obtained from a processing factory. We present here the draft genome sequence of the strain (WOB7). These data provide valuable information on the prospects of the linamarase and other genes of importance associated with cyanogen detoxification.
