Draft Genome Sequence Of The Filamentous Cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya Sp. Strain Heron Island J, Exhibiting Chromatic Acclimation

Leptolyngbya sp. strain Heron Island is a cyanobacterium exhibiting chromatic acclimation. However, this strain has strong interactions with other bacteria, making it impossible to obtain axenic cultures for sequencing. A protocol involving an analysis of tetranucleotide frequencies, G+C content, and BLAST searches has been described for separating the cyanobacterial scaffolds from those of its cooccurring bacteria.
