Abstract

Cluster 5 Synechococcus species are widely acknowledged for their broad distribution and biogeochemical importance. In particular, subcluster 5.2 strains inhabit freshwater, estuarine, and marine environments but are understudied, compared to other subclusters. Here, we present the genome for Synechococcus sp. strain LA31, a strain that was recently isolated from Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA.

Maximum likelihood tree created with 251 concatenated amino acid sequences found in all currently available cluster 5 Synechococcus, Cyanobium, Vulcanococcus, and Prochlorococcus genomes. The distribution of the three subclusters within cluster 5 is indicated with brackets on the right side. Strain LA31 (presented here) is shown in bold. Gloeobacter violaceus PCC 7421 is included as an outgroup. Node numbers represent local support values derived from 1,000 resamplings as part of FastTree. Genbank accession numbers are listed for each genome.
