We report here the complete genome sequence of nitrogen-fixing Paenibacillus sp. strain URB8-2, isolated from the rhizosphere of wild grass in Kobe, Japan, revealing that this bacterium is related to Paenibacillus rhizophilus 7197, a novel species collected recently in Inner Mongolia, China, and that it possesses two gene clusters for distinct types of nitrogenases.
