Complete genome sequence of Oenococcus oeni strain K19-3 isolated from grape must

The lactic acid bacteria Oenococcus oeni spp. are of significant interest in winemaking due to their ability to carry out malolactic fermentation, thereby improving the organoleptic properties of wine. Here we report the complete circular genome sequence of the Oenococcus oeni strain K19-3, isolated from red grape must at Crimean wineries.
