Abstract

Weissella oryzae was originally isolated from fermented rice grains. Here we report the draft genome sequence of the type strain of W. oryzae. This first report on the genomic sequence of this species may help identify the mechanisms underlying bacterial adaptation to the ecological niche of fermented rice grains.
