Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Microbacterium oleivorans strain A9, a uranium-tolerant actinobacterium which has been isolated from radionuclide-contaminated soil from the Chernobyl exclusion zone. It is composed of 22 contigs totaling 2,954,335 bp and contains 2,813 coding DNA sequences, one cluster of rRNA genes, and 45 tRNA genes.

Keywords: Chernobyl; Microbacterium oleivorans sp. A9
