The Genome Sequence of an Algal Strain of QH25.

Species of are single-celled Stramenopiles commonly used in microalgae-based technologies for the manufacturing of bioproducts. Nannochloropsis oceanica QH25 was isolated from an algal cultivation pond located in Imperial, Texas (USA). We used PacBio continuous long read (CLR) sequencing to produce a highly contiguous 29.

High-Quality Genome Assembly of Nannochloris desiccata 2437 and Its Associated Bacterial Community.

High-quality genome sequences were generated for the nonaxenic marine microalga Nannochloris desiccata UTEX 2437 and eight of its associated environmental bacterial species. UTEX 2437 is diploid, and its 20.738-Mbp nuclear genome sequence is assembled in 29 contigs.

Phylogenetic analyses and reclassification of the oleaginous marine species Nannochloris sp. "desiccata" (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta), formerly Chlorella desiccata, supported by a high-quality genome assembly.

Microalgae are diverse, with many gaps remaining in phylogenetic and physiological understanding. Thus, studying new microalgae species increases our broader comprehension of biological diversity, and evaluation of new candidates as algal production platforms can lead to improved productivity under a variety of cultivation conditions. Chlorella is a genus of fast-growing species often isolated from freshwater habitats and cultivated as a source of nutritional supplements.
