Abstract
Here we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus psychrosaccharolyticus, a cold-adapted bacterium with biotechnological interest. The genome contains genes related to the ability of this microorganism to grow at low temperatures and includes a nucleoside 2'-deoxyribosyltransferase, which can be used in the industrial synthesis of modified nucleosides with therapeutic activity.
