Abstract

Tetratostichococcus sp. P1 shows an acidophilic phenotype which could allow mass-scale monoculture of this green microalga without severe contamination by environmental microorganisms. In this study, we report a chromosome-scale genome assembly for Tetratostichococcus sp. P1.

Keywords: Tetratostichococcus; acidophilic microalga; tropical peatland.
