Abstract
ABSTRACTThe microalgae Tetradesmus obliquus is able to maintain a high photosynthetic efficiency under nitrogen limitation and is considered a promising green microalgae for sustainable production of diverse compounds, including biofuels. Here, we report the first draft whole-genome shotgun sequencing of T. obliquus. The final assembly comprises 108,715,903 bp with over 1,368 scaffolds.

The microalgae Tetradesmus obliquus is able to maintain a high photosynthetic efficiency under nitrogen limitation and is considered a promising green microalgae for sustainable production of diverse compounds, including biofuels
T. obliquus is able to maintain a high photosynthetic efficiency under nitrogen limitation for a relatively long period, which results in a high yield of lipids on light and high volumetric and areal productivities [4,5,6,7,8]
Two methods were used in parallel for assembling and scaffolding, and the resulting scaffold sets were merged
Summary
The microalgae Tetradesmus obliquus is able to maintain a high photosynthetic efficiency under nitrogen limitation and is considered a promising green microalgae for sustainable production of diverse compounds, including biofuels. T. obliquus is able to maintain a high photosynthetic efficiency under nitrogen limitation for a relatively long period, which results in a high yield of lipids on light and high volumetric and areal productivities [4,5,6,7,8]. The genome was sequenced using Illumina Hiseq2000, yielding nearly 200 million 101-bp reads, with an estimated average insert size of 248 bp.
