A hybrid sequencing approach, using short and long reads sequencing, was employed for characterizing the genomes of the free-living amoeba host Vermamoeba vermiformis, along with its Dependentiae endosymbiont Vermiphilus pyriformis. The amoeba host reconstructed nuclear genome is 39.5 Mb, and its full mitochondrial genome is 61.7 kb. The closed, circular genome of the Dependentiae endosymbiont Vermiphilus pyriformis, naturally infecting V. vermiformis is 1.1 Mb.
