title: Long genome sequences of Pseudochloris wilhelmii strain SAG 55.87
design: The genomic DNA of Pseudochloris wilhelmii strain SAG 55.87 was sequenced in this study. Genomic DNA was extracted from a 43-day-old axenic culture of P. wilhelmii using a CTAB-based method. The extracted DNA was sequenced on an Oxford Nanopore Optimised Flongle Flow Cell for a period of 24 h using the MINKNOW software application.
