Draft Genome Sequence of the Cadmium-Resistant Strain JJU2, Belonging to the Family Hapalosiphonaceae of the Cyanobacteria

Abstract

Here, we report the genome of strain JJU2, a cyanobacterium of the family Hapalosiphonaceae known to be resistant to high cadmium levels, assembled from a nonaxenic, unialgal culture from Marinduque, Philippines. The draft genome is 7.1 Mb long with a GC content of 40.05% and contains 5,625 protein-coding genes.
