Metagenome-assembled genome sequence of Spiroplasma phoeniceum , assembled from the hindgut of Locusta migratoria , a migration grasshopper species.

Spiroplasma phoeniceum is a plant pathogen and a mesophilic microaerophile. Here, we report the metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) sequence of S. phoeniceum binned from hindgut contents of the wild-type male Locusta migratoria , a grasshopper species. The MAG sequence comprises 1,059,205 bp in 91 contigs with a 26.3% of GC content.
