Streptomyces tsukubaensis strain F601 was found to be a producer of the immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus. The draft genome sequence of this strain was approximately 8.52 Mbp. Genes involved in the biosynthesis of tacrolimus were identified in the genome. This draft genome sequence will provide insights into the genetic basis of tacrolimus biosynthesis and regulation.
