# Draft genome of a member of ascomycotal fungal genus Pseudopithomyces (family Didymosphaeriaceae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a Pseudopithomyces fungus isolated from brewery wastewater, providing insights into its genetic makeup and taxonomy.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality draft genome for a Pseudopithomyces species using multiple taxonomic validation methods.

## Key findings

- The draft genome is 39.65 Mbp long and consists of 43 contigs.
- BUSCO analysis showed a completeness of 98.9%, indicating high quality.
- Taxonomic classification was confirmed using ITS, mitochondrial DNA, and k-mer analysis.

## Abstract

We report a draft genome of a species from the ascomycotal fungal genus Pseudopithomyces (isolate name SBW1) obtained using a culture isolate from brewery wastewater. The 43 contig genome has a length of 39.65 Mbp, with Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) completeness of 98.9%. Taxonomic assignment was supported by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence, mitochondrial DNA sequence, and k-mer analysis.
