Here, we report draft reference genome sequences of Epicoccum sp. F181 (GenBank accession number JAJSLS01), Cladosporium sp. F165 (JAJSLR01), and F190 (JAJSLT01) isolated from recycling and waste management facilities in New Zealand. ## Linked entities - **Species:** Cladosporium sp. F165 (taxon 2904843), Epicoccum sp. F181 (taxon 2904842), Cladosporium sp. F190 (taxon 2904841) ## Full-text entities - **Species:** Epicoccum sp. (species) [taxon 1859956], Cladosporium sp. (species) [taxon 1707700] ## Full text _Full body text omitted from this summary view._ Fetch the complete paper as Markdown: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11385456/full.md ## References 12 references — full list in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11385456/full.md --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11385456
