Genome Sequence of Spizellomyces punctatus

Genome Announc. 2016 Aug 18;4(4):e00849-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00849-16.

Abstract

Spizellomyces punctatus is a basally branching chytrid fungus that is found in the Chytridiomycota phylum. Spizellomyces species are common in soil and of importance in terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we report the genome sequence of S. punctatus, which will facilitate the study of this group of early diverging fungi.
