Here, we present the draft genome sequence ofBordetella sp. strain FB-8, a mixotrophic iron-oxidizing bacterium isolated from creek sediment in the former uranium-mining district of Ronneburg, Germany. To date, iron oxidation has not been reported inBordetella species, indicating that FB-8 may be an environmentally importantBordetella sp.
