Draft genome sequence of marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain NKBG15041c

Abstract

Synechococcus sp. strain NKBG15041c was isolated as a fast-growing marine cyanobacterium. Genetic transformation techniques using this strain have been well established for metabolic engineering. Here we report the draft genome sequence for this strain, consisting of 44 contigs containing a total of 3,180,043 bp and 3,224 putative protein-coding genes.
