Genome resource announcement of a Leptodophora sp. fungus isolated from roots of broadleaf plants in Wisconsin, USA

Abstract

We report whole genome sequences of a plant root-associated fungus Leptodophora sp., consisting of 21 contigs representing 75.14 mega-base pairs genome encoding 19,447 proteins, with 98.4% BUSCO proteome completeness score. Secondary metabolism genes constitute 55 clusters. This species likely synthesizes toxic alternapyrone, 6-methylsalicylic acid, and fusarin.
