Draft Genome Sequence of the Toxic Freshwater Microcystis aeruginosa Strain PMC 728.11 (Cyanobacteria, Chroococcales).

is one of the major species that cause toxic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater systems worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of PMC 728.11, a microcystin-producing cyanobacterium isolated from the freshwater reservoir of Juanon in Valence, France. The genome sequence contains 276 contigs, consisting of 5,536,025 bp and 5,594 putative protein-coding genes, among which are several biosynthetic gene clusters encoding enzyme complexes involved in the production of various bioactive and toxic metabolites.
