<i>Oxynema</i> <i>mangrovii</i> sp. nov., a new filamentous species (Oscillatoriales, Cyanobacteria) from Atlantic forest mangrove.

ABSTRACT: A cyanobacterial strain isolated from Brazilian mangrove soil and classified as a member of the genus Phormidium was afterward affiliated to the genus Oxynema. To define the species of this Oxynema strain CENA135, we sequenced its whole genome and applied a polyphasic taxonomic approach. This strain, with all the morphological features recognized for the Oxynema genus, had its genome assembled in 11 scaffolds with a total size of 6,235,022 bp, a G + C content of 51.6%, 4,720 protein-coding genes, and five 16S rRNA genes. Genes related to ecological resistance were annotated, demonstrating the relevance of obtaining high-quality genome assemblies from underrepresented habitats.
