Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces albulus strain CCRC 11814, a soil-dwelling, Gram-positive bacterium. S. albulus produces ε-poly-l-lysine, which has diverse antimicrobial activity. The genome is 9.43 Mb in size, with a G+C content of 72.2%, and contains 9,177 protein-coding sequences.
