Draft Genome Sequence of Paenibacillus sp Strain OSY-SE, a Bacterium Producing the Novel Broad-Spectrum Lipopeptide Antibiotic Paenibacterin

A strain of Paenibacillus sp., OSY-SE, was isolated from soil and found to produce a novel lipopeptide antibiotic. The antibiotic, paenibacterin, is active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial pathogens. Paenibacterin is biosynthesized by a nonribosomal peptide synthetase pathway. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Paenibacillus sp. OSY-SE.
