Abstract

Oenococcus oeni OM27 is a strain selected from "Nero di Troia" wine undergoing spontaneous malolactic fermentation. "Nero di Troia" is a wine made from "Uva di Troia" grapes, an autochthonous black grape variety from the Apulian region (south of Italy). In this paper we present a 1.78-Mb assembly of the O. oeni OM27 genome, the first fully assembled genome of an O. oeni strain from an Italian wine.
