Chromosome-Scale Genome Assembly of Two Australian Nannochloropsis oceanica Isolates Exhibiting Superior Lipid Characteristics

Microbiol Resour Announc. 2019 Nov 27;8(48):e01288-19. doi: 10.1128/MRA.01288-19.

Abstract

Nannochloropsis oceanica strains BR2 and KB1 are microalgal isolates from brackish water in the Brisbane River and a coastal rock pool at the Sunshine Coast in Australia which display superior productivity at high temperatures. We used long-read sequencing to sequence their genomes and to facilitate elucidation of loci associated with these traits.
