Abstract
Microcystis aeruginosa is one of the major species that cause toxic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater systems worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of M. aeruginosa PMC 728.11, a microcystin-producing cyanobacterium isolated from the freshwater reservoir of Juanon in Valence, France. The genome sequence contains 276 contigs, consisting of 5,536,025 bp and 5,594 putative protein-coding genes, among which are several biosynthetic gene clusters encoding enzyme complexes involved in the production of various bioactive and toxic metabolites.
