Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus sp. strain YC2, an Isolate from the South African Medicinal Plant Pelargonium sidoides.

A rhizosphere-associated Bacillus species was isolated from Pelargonium sidoides DC (Geraniaceae) tubers, whose commercial extracts are used in respiratory tract infection treatment. Genomic data for Bacillus isolates associated with Pelargonium sidoides is lacking. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain YC2.
