Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome of Aureococcus anophagefferens strain CCMP1851, which is susceptible to the virus Kratosvirus quantuckense. CCMP1851 complements an available genome for a virus-resistant strain (CCMP1850) isolated from the same bloom. Future studies can now use this genome to examine genetic hints of virus resistance and susceptibility.
