## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a Bacillus cereus strain found in wastewater treatment sludge.

## Contribution

The study provides a new complete genome sequence for B. cereus from an environmental wastewater source.

## Key findings

- The complete genome sequence of B. cereus NBNT-070 was determined.
- The strain was isolated from activated sludge in a wastewater treatment facility.

## Abstract

Bacillus cereus is a widely distributed gram-positive bacterium that exhibits several notable characteristics. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of B. cereus strain NBNT-070, which was isolated from the activated sludge of a wastewater treatment facility. This data will be instrumental in elucidating the ecological role of B. cereus.
