Draft genome sequence of an Indian marine cyanobacterial strain with fast growth and high polyglucan content

Abstract

Marine cyanobacteria play an important role in global carbon cycling and are a potential source of polyglucans for biotechnological purposes. This report provides the draft sequence of an Indian marine cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus BDU 130192, which shows fast growth and high polyglucan content. The genome sequence will help in understanding the unique properties of this organism.
