Abstract

Bacillus safensis 3A was isolated from a contaminated estuarine sediment sample with mine tailing from the Samarco dam disaster, which occurred in 2015 in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. We report here a draft genome sequence (3.6 Mb) of this bacterial strain. B. safensis exhibited strong resistance to heavy metals.
