Bacillus sp. strain M21 was isolated from an environmental sample. In antibacterial screenings, the strain inhibited growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative test strains. The genome was assembled into 69 contigs with a total size of 5.178 Mb. The strain contains at least nine biosynthetic gene clusters for the production of specialized metabolites.
