Penicillium corylophilum UNK
This genome represents one of two metagenome-extracted genomes that were recovered from contaminated DNA and RNA samples, initially part of the Aspergillus whole-genus sequencing project.
The top two metagenome bins for this sample matched Penicillium corylophilum UNK and Aspergillus ruber UNK. Binned DNA reads were assembled separately, and a shared transcriptome library was assembled by Trinity. Subsequently, the JGI Annotation Pipeline was used to produce structural and functional annotations.
Penicillium corylophilum is a source of secondary metabolites and food spoilage, and has been isolated from damp environments (1,2). P. corylophilum has also been described as a pathogen of mosquitos (3).
