The genome sequence of the soilborne bacterium strain ES-001, assembled from Illumina NextSeq and Nanopore MinION reads, is rich in genes predicted to encode iron, arsenic, and hydrocarbon metabolism, as well as type 6 secretion components. The sequenced genome will aid in determining the roles of noncellulolytic species in cellulose-enriched environments.
