Podospora tetraspora CBS 815.71 Minimal Draft
Podospora tetraspora (= Schizothecium tetrasporum) is a pseudo-homothallic fungus that typically produces four ascospores per ascus (1). This species is frequently found on rabbit dung (1), but strain CBS 815.71 was isolated from soil in Ashdown forest, England. The sequenced strain is a F1 homokaryotic progeny of the self-fertile strain CBS 815.71. It belongs to the family Schizotheciaceae.
