title: Genome sequencing of Chlamydiales bacterium STE3
design: Acanthamoeba sp. STE3 was isolated from the biofilm of a littoral cave wall in Hawaii (USA) and subsequently axenized as described by Lagkouvardos et al. (10.1111/1758-2229.12162). DNA of the chlamydial symbiont was purified as described by Toenshoff et al. (10.1371/journal.pone.0032696).
