Bacillus velezensis OSY-GA1 is a Gram-positive soil bacterium that exhibits antagonistic activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative foodborne pathogens. Here, we present the strain's draft genome, which is 4,009,999 bp long with an average G+C content of 46.2%. Genome mining analysis revealed numerous biosynthetic gene clusters encoding antimicrobials of diverse natures.
