Temporal dynamics in microbial soil communities at anthrax carcass sites.

Background: Anthrax is a globally distributed disease affecting primarily herbivorous mammals. It is caused by the soil-dwelling and spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The dormant B.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Bacillus anthracis Strains from Etosha National Park, Namibia.

Bacillus anthracis strains K1 and K2 were isolated from two plains zebra anthrax carcasses in Etosha National Park, Namibia. These are draft genomes obtained by Illumina MiSeq sequencing of isolates collected from culture of blood-soaked soil from each carcass.
