Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum strain Fito_F321 is a naturally occurring strain in vineyard, with the ability to colonise grapevine and which unveils a naturally antagonistic potential against phytopathogens of grapevine, including those responsible for the Botryosphaeria dieback, a GTD disease. Herein we report the draft genome sequence of B. amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum Fito_F321, isolated from the leaf of Vitis vinifera cv. Merlot at Bairrada appellation (Cantanhede, Portugal). The genome size is 3,856,229 bp, with a GC content of 46.54% that contains 3697 protein-coding genes, 86 tRNA coding genes and 5 rRNA genes. The draft genome of strain Fito_F321 allowed to predict a set of bioactive compounds as bacillaene, difficidin, macrolactin, surfactin and fengycin that due to their antimicrobial activity are hypothesized to be of utmost importance for biocontrol of grapevine diseases.
