Penicillium subrubescens FBCC1632 / CBS132785 was sequenced and annotated by CBS-KNAW Fungal Biodiversity Centre and University of Helsinki, and incorporated into Mycocosm to facilitate comparative analyses.

Penicillium subrubescens is a saprobic species from the section Lanata-diversicata of the genus Penicillium. It was originally isolated from soil of a Jerusalem artichoke field (1) in Helsinki, Finland. The species has a high potential for the production of plant biomass degrading enzyme mixtures (2).
