Abstract

We report here the complete sequences of the main genome (4.8 Mb) and seven plasmids of the semifilamentous, nonheterocystous cyanobacterium Pseudanabaena sp. ABRG5-3, a strain isolated from a pond in Japan. These data are expected to enhance our understanding of the Pseudanabaena subclade near the root of cyanobacterial diversity.
