Whole genome sequence of Tolypothrix campylonemoides Strain VB511288-2

We report here the draft genome sequence of Tolypothrix campylonemoides VB511288, isolated from building facades in Santiniketan, India. Tolypothrix is a genus of aerophytic heterocystous cyanobacteria and belongs to the order Nostocales . These filamentous organisms occur in fasciculated colonies in which the heterocystic basal parts and free apical ends are mostly falsely branched. Tolypothrix spp. are commonly found in floating tufts or submerged in fresh torpid water, attached to plants or rocks, or are sometimes reported from mineral springs . Organisms belonging to the genus Tolypothrix produce several metabolites having commercial importance.
