Mychonastes homosphaera isolate:Lake Chaohu2015 Genome sequencing and assembly

In an attempt to further increase knowledge about the evolution and adaptation of freshwater picophytoplankton, we isolated a Mychonastes strain from Lake Chaohu, a highly eutrophic lake, and sequenced its complete genome by using third-generation sequencing (PacBio Sequel). Here, we conducted combined analysis of the complete genome sequences of Mychonastes sp. and other Sphaeropleales species as well as picophytoplankton species to investigate the evolutionary history and environmental adaptation of Mychonastes sp.

为进一步深化对淡水微微型浮游植物（picophytoplankton）演化与环境适应机制的认知，本研究从重度富营养化湖泊巢湖中分离得到一株毛藻属（Mychonastes）菌株，并采用第三代测序技术（PacBio Sequel）完成了其全基因组测序。本研究整合分析了毛藻属未定种（Mychonastes sp.）、其他球藻目（Sphaeropleales）物种以及微微型浮游植物的全基因组序列，以解析该类群的演化历史与环境适应机制。
