Abstract
Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii ITEP-A1 is a saxitoxin-producing cyanobacterium. We report the draft genome sequence of ITEP-A1, which comprised 195 contigs that were assembled with SPAdes and annotated with Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology. The identified genome sequence had 3,605,836 bp, 40.1% G+C, and predicted 3,553 coding sequences (including the synthetase genes).
Highlights
Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii ITEP-A1 is a saxitoxin-producing cyanobacterium
Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Woloszynska) Seenayya and Subba Raju populations of Brazilian freshwater bodies are potential saxitoxin (STX) producers (1), and the presence of the sxt biosynthetic gene cluster has been confirmed in the T3 strain (2)
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN), a cyanotoxin commonly detected in isolates from Australia and Asia, has recently been reported in Brazilian and South American water supply reservoirs containing C. raciborskii for the first time (3)
