Microcystis aeruginosa is a globally well-known bloom-forming cyanobacterium. An improved draft whole-genome sequence of M. aeruginosa NIES-298, which is a microcystin-producing strain isolated from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, is published here. The genome comprises approximately 5.0 Mbp, with an average G+C content of 42.6% and 4,537 predicted protein-coding genes.
