• Description: We report here the draft genome sequences of two Brazilian strains of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, a saxitoxin-producer (CYRF) and a non-saxitoxin producer (CYLP), with each strain comprising one assembled scaffold. We revealed differences in the compositions of gene members coding for membrane transporters and antioxidant activities between the strains.
