Abstract Objectives The genus Bacillus comprises spore-forming rod-shaped Gram-positive bacteria, which usually grow aerobically or anaerobically. Members of this genus are common environmental microorganisms. Also, they can be monitored in the food production chain. Genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain EE-W1 will provide helpful information to understand its ecology and genetics. Draft genome data may be useful in the field of using Bacillus species in industrial biotechnology. Also, these data can be a useful resource for the study of comparative genomics. Data description Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain EE-W1 isolated from a biogas reactor, Kazan, Russia. The assembled genome size was 5,769,164 bp, with a GC content 35.1%. This draft genome data can be accessed at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession WIPE00000000.
