The coccolithophore Calcidiscus leptoporus and its bacterial phycosphere
A non-axenic isolate of the coccolithophore Calcidiscus leptoporus (haploid strain, RCC-1151) was grown in laboratory conditions and used for whole-genome sequencing. Hence, the co-cultured bacteria, termed phycosphere, were also sequenced (metagenome). C. leptoporus and bacterial genomes were assembled.
