Abstract

Metagenome-assembled genomes were generated for two xenic cyanobacterial strains collected from aquatic sources in Kenya and sequenced by NovaSeq S4. Here, we report the classification and genome statistics of Microcystis panniformis WG22 and Limnospira fusiformis LS22.

Keywords: Lake Simbi; Winam Gulf; cyanobacteria; microcystins.
