Draft genome sequence of Leptolyngbya sp. KIOST-1, a filamentous cyanobacterium with biotechnological potential for alimentary purposes

Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome of cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya sp. KIOST-1 isolated from a microalgal culture pond in South Korea. The genome consists of 13 contigs containing 6,320,172 bp, and a total of 5,327 coding sequences were predicted. This genomic information will allow further exploitation of its biotechnological potential for alimentary purposes.
