Genomic and Genotypic Characterization of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii: Toward an Intraspecific Phylogenetic Evaluation by Comparative Genomics.

ABSTRACT: Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii is a freshwater cyanobacterial species with increasing bloom reports worldwide that are likely due to factors related to climate change. In addition to the deleterious effects of blooms on aquatic ecosystems, the majority of ecotypes can synthesize toxic secondary metabolites causing public health issues. To overcome the harmful effects of C. raciborskii blooms, it is important to advance knowledge of diversity, genetic variation, and evolutionary processes within populations. An efficient approach to exploring this diversity and understanding the evolution of C. raciborskii is to use comparative genomics. Here, we report two new draft genomes of C. raciborskii (strains CENA302 and CENA303) from Brazilian isolates of different orig
