Draft Genome Sequence of Marine Cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. Strain NKBG042902, Which Harbors a Homogeneous Plasmid

Themarine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain NKBG042902 was isolated from coastal areas in Japan. Strain NKBG042902 has four plasmids: pSY8, pSY9, pSY10, and pSY11. Moreover, the hybrid plasmid pUSY02 containing pSY11 and Escherichia coli plasmid pUC18 was constructed for this strain. The genetic manipulation technique using pUSY02 was estab-lished for this strain and used in metabolic engineering. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain, which has 77 contigs comprising a total length of 3,319,479 bp, with a GC content of 49.4%
