Draft Genome Sequences of Two Benthic Cyanobacteria, Oscillatoriales USR 001 and Nostoc sp. MBR 210, Isolated from Tropical Freshwater Lakes.

Genomes of two filamentous benthic cyanobacteria were obtained from cocultures obtained from two freshwater lakes. The cultures were obtained by first growing cyanobacterial trichome on solid medium, followed by subculturing in freshwater media. Subsequent shotgun sequencing, de novo assembly, and genomic binning yielded almost complete genomes of Oscillatoriales USR 001 and Nostoc sp. MBR 210.
