Draft genome sequence of bacillus sp. strain CDB3, an Arsenic-Resistant soil bacterium isolated from cattle dip sites

Bacillus sp. strain CDB3, isolated from cattle dip sites in Australia, is highly resistant to arsenic. It contains 22 arsenic resistance (ars) genes, of which 17 are organized in 3 ars clusters. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of CDB3, which will assist us in understanding the overall ars mechanism.
