Abstract
Lake Mattamuskeet, the largest lake in North Carolina, USA, has undergone decades-long eutrophication causing reduced water quality and promoting cyanobacterial blooms that may produce toxins. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the cyanobacterial diversity of the lake and their toxigenic potential. We present draft genomes of Microcystis, Pelatocladus, Raphidiopsis, and Umezakia strains isolated from Lake Mattamuskeet. The whole-genome shotgun projects for Umezakia ovalisporum BLCC-F208, Microcystis sp. BLCC-F209, Microcystis sp. BLCC-F210, Pelatocladus sp. BLCC-F211, U. ovalisporum BLCC-F215, and Raphidiopsis BLCC-F218 have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers JBHFLK000000000, JBHFLL000000000, CP169647, JBHFLM000000000, JBHFLN000000000, and JBHFLO000000000, respectively. Based on the genomic analysis, several biosynthetic gene clusters (BCGs) with varying degrees of similarity to known toxic and bioactive compound gene clusters were identified across the different cyanobacterial strains.
