Abstract

Draft genomes were generated for three filamentous toxin-producing cyanobacterial strains cultivated from aquatic sources in Ohio sequenced by NovaSeq S4. Here, we report the classification and genome statistics of Planktothrix rubescens PR221, PR222, and PR223.

Keywords: cyanobacteria; cyanotoxin; freshwater; harmful algal blooms.
