Draft Genome Sequence of Paenibacillus sp. Strain DMB5, Acclimatized and Enriched for Catabolizing Anthropogenic Compounds.

Here, we present the draft genome sequence ofPaenibacillussp. strain DMB5, isolated from polluted sediments of the Kharicut Canal, Vatva, India, having a genome size of 7.5 Mbp and 7,077 coding sequences. The genome of this dye-degrading bacterium provides valuable information on the microbe-mediated biodegradation of anthropogenic compounds.
