Laceyella tengchongensis BKK01 is a thermophilic bacterium isolated from municipal solid waste. The genome of L. tengchongensis BKK01 includes a gene putatively encoding gramicidin S synthase. Gramicidin S has antibiotic activity against some bacteria and fungi. The newly sequenced 3.44-Mb draft genome of L. tengchongensis BKK01 will shed some light on the biosynthesis of gramicidin S.
