Metagenome-Assembled Genome Sequences of Raphidiopsis raciborskii and Planktothrix agardhii from a Cyanobacterial Bloom in Kissena Lake, New York, USA

Abstract

Raphidiopsis raciborskii and Planktothrix agardhii are filamentous, potentially toxin-producing cyanobacteria that form nuisance blooms in fresh waters. Here, we report high-quality metagenome-assembled genome sequences of R. raciborskii and P. agardhii collected from a bloom in Kissena Lake, New York.
