- The guanine-cytosine content of the genome is 43.45%.

## Abstract

A cellulase-producing Bacillus was previously isolated from the intestinal tract of domestic bamboo rat and identified as Bacillus subtilis GL-4. In this study, we present the complete genome sequence of B. subtilis GL-4. The genome is 4,271,214 bp long, with a guanine-cytosine content of 43.45%.

## Full-text entities

- **Species:** Bacillus (genus) [taxon 55087], Rattus norvegicus (brown rat, species) [taxon 10116], Bambuseae (bamboo, tribe) [taxon 147376]
