Abstract
ABSTRACTMortierella alpina is a filamentous fungus commonly associated with soil and is one of very few fungal species known to include strains with ice nucleation activity. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the ice nucleation-active M. alpina strain LL118, isolated from aspen leaf litter collected in Alberta, Canada.
Highlights
Mortierella species are filamentous fungi in the subphylum Mortierellomycotina [1]
The Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) assessment revealed the presence of 1,575 genes (97.6%) based on the lineage-specific profile library mucoromycota_odb10 (1,614 genes)
reports the genome assembly and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on an Illumina Nova Seq 6000 platform at Novogene Corporation, Inc. (Sacramento, CA), using the TruSeq stranded mRNA library prep kit (Illumina), and the quality of reads was again checked using FastQC v0.11.9 [7]
Summary
Mortierella species are filamentous fungi in the subphylum Mortierellomycotina [1]. Mortierella alpina is the only Mortierella species that includes strains with ice nucleation activity (INA) [2, 3]. The genome assembly was found to have 54Â coverage using BBMap v38.90 [11]. The genome was determined to comprise 35,609,760 bp with a G1C content of 51.44%. The BUSCO assessment revealed the presence of 1,575 genes (97.6%) based on the lineage-specific profile library mucoromycota_odb10 (1,614 genes).
