Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Gloeocapsa sp. BRSZ isolated from Bo Khlueng hot spring in Thailand, comprising 42 contigs assembled at the scaffold level, totaling 6,084,403 bp, with 43.5% G + C content. It contains 5,456 putative protein-coding genes, including genes responsible for biosynthesis of mycosporine-like amino acids.

Keywords: Gloeocapsa; cyanobacteria; mycosporine-like amino acids.
