In 2010, a Clostridium botulinum type B isolate was recovered from fermented soybeans during a foodborne botulism investigation. Molecular investigation of the botulinum neurotoxin (bont) gene operon determined that the sequence was a new subtype, denoted B8. Here, we describe the draft whole-genome sequence of the organism.
