Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 3 Bacillus sporothermodurans strains isolated from ultra-high-temperature milk products in South Africa and Brazil and the type strain MB 581 (DSM 10599). The genomes will provide valuable information on the molecular dynamics of heat resistance in B sporothermodurans.
