Draft Genome Sequence of the Picocyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. Strain GFB01, Isolated from a Freshwater Lagoon in the Brazilian Amazon.
We present the draft genome of the cyanobacterium strain Synechococcus sp. GFB01, the first genome sequencing of this genus isolated from South America. This draft genome consists of 125 contigs with a total size of 2,339,812 bp. Automatic annotation identified several genes involved with heavy metal resistance and natural transformation.
