## Abstract

Leptobacillium, a lignicolous hyphomycetous fungus composed of 11 known species, is recognized for its potential as a source of biocontrol agents and bioactive compounds. In this study, we report the draft genome of Leptobacillium coffeanum, a species previously isolated in Brazil and now recorded in the Philippines. This genomic resource provides a foundation for future investigations into its ecological roles, metabolic capabilities, and potential applications in agriculture and biotechnology.
