Abstract

Synechococcus spp. are unicellular cyanobacteria that are globally distributed and are important primary producers in marine coastal environments. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Synechococcus sp. strain WH 8101 and identify genomic islands that may play a role in virus-host interactions.

Highlights

  • Synechococcus spp. are unicellular cyanobacteria that are globally distributed and are important primary producers in marine coastal environments

  • The consensus sequence was polished by additional rounds of PacBio read mapping and was circularized using information from the bridge mapper tool, all within the singlemolecule real-time (SMRT) Analysis software (v.2.3.0.140936), using default settings

  • 9,120 80,047 10,267 11,977 46,488 90,691 81,390 22,350 33,782 133,146 79,603 8,118 9,813 a Islands in Synechococcus sp. strain RS9917 were identified by Dufresne et al [11]
