Metagenome-assembled genome of Synechococcus sp. “Tanasi” from the Tellico Reservoir, Tennessee, USA

Synechococcus -like cyanobacteria are vital to aquatic ecosystems. Taxonomists have begun to reassign genomic clades within this group to new taxa. This process depends on genomic data from diverse habitats. Here, we present a metagenome-assembled genome of a Synechococcus sp. strain from the Tennessee River Basin, an ecosystem under-represented in databases.
