Draft Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus paraplantarum OSY-TC318, a Producer of the Novel Lantibiotic Paraplantaracin TC318

Lactobacillus paraplantarum OSY-TC318 was isolated from Turkish Tulum cheese and found to produce a potent anti-Gram-positive peptide. Sequencing of the OSY-TC318 genome revealed a genome size of 3,587,488 bp and an average GC content of 43.4%. Mining of the OSY-TC318 draft genome sequence revealed the gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of paraplantaricin TC318.
