Abstract

Enterococcus durans OSY-EGY was isolated recently from cheese. The strain produces potent antimicrobial agents. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the strain, with a genome size of 3,230,625 bp and an average G+C content of 37.69%. Draft genome mining identified several biosynthetic gene clusters encoding multiple antimicrobial peptides.
