Abstract

Microalgae are a promising resource for production of industrially relevant compounds, including renewable fuels and nutraceuticals. However, little is known about the presence and impacts of viruses in outdoor cultivation ponds. We present sequences of bacteriophage and potential megavirus genomes from metagenomic sequencing of microalgae ponds in Mesa, Arizona, USA.
