Abstract

The draft genome sequence of Raphidiopsis (Cylindrospermopsis) raciborskii strain GIHE 2018, a filamentous nitrogen-fixing and potentially harmful cyanobacterium, is reported here. This is the first strain isolated from a shallow freshwater pond in South Korea. This information is expected to improve our understanding of the phylogeography of this species.
