Genome Sequence of a Blattabacterium Strain Isolated from the Viviparous Cockroach, Diploptera punctata.

Here, we report the genome sequence and characterization for a Blattabacterium strain isolated from the viviparous cockroach, Diploptera punctata, which provides amino acids critical for intrauterine embryo development. The genome was assembled by sequencing of the cockroach fat body, which is the location of this obligate symbiont.
