Draft Genome Sequence of the Green Alga Scenedesmus acuminatus SAG 38.81

Scenedesmus acuminatus is known as a promising green microalga for sustainable production of microalgae products, including valuable compounds, such as astaxanthin, ß-carotene and lutein, polysaccharides, such as ß-glucan, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequence of Scenedesmus acuminatus strain SAG 38.81.
