Polymyxa betae belongs to the Plasmodiophorida (Phytomyxea, Rhizaria). Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of a member of the Polymyxa genus, which includes two obligate root endoparasite species, vectors of important soilborne plant viruses. The genome assembly was represented by 1,001 contigs,with a cumulated length of 27,085,946 bp
