Abstract:
An unknown fungus has been isolated as a contaminant of in vitro-grown fungal cultures. In an attempt to identify the contamination, we isolated the causal agent and performed whole-genome sequencing. BLAST analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence against the NCBI database showed 100% identity to Trichoderma atroviride, and further alignment of the genome assembly confirmed the unknown fungus to be T. atroviride. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a T. atroviride strain.
