Acanthamoeba lenticulata strain:72/2 Genome sequencing and assembly. Acanthamoeba lenticulata strain:72/2

The eukaryote Acanthamoeba lenticulata belongs to the genotype T5 and constitutes an opportunistic microorganism that is globally distributed in aquatic and terrestrial environments and can also act as a host for various bacterial endosymbionts. Here, we performed whole genome shotgun sequencing and a de novo assembly of A. lenticulata strain 72/2 which resulted in a complete draft sequence of 74.7 Mb.
