Draft genome sequence of Brevibacillus laterosporus OSY-I1, a strain that produces brevibacillin, which combats drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria

Abstract

Brevibacillus laterosporus OSY-I1 is a Gram-positive spore-forming bacterium isolated from soil. The bacterium produces brevibacillin, an antimicrobial lipopeptide effective against several drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the strain OSY-I1 and the gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of brevibacillin.
