Abstract
Chaetomium globosum is a filamentous fungus typically isolated from cellulosic substrates. This species also causes superficial infections of humans and, more rarely, can cause cerebral infections. Here, we report the genome sequence of C. globosum isolate CBS 148.51, which will facilitate the study and comparative analysis of this fungus.
Highlights
Chaetomium globosum is a filamentous fungus typically isolated from cellulosic substrates
Of the more than 150 species of Chaetomium described to date, C. globosum is the most frequently isolated and inhabits the widest range of environments [1]
Chaetomium globosum is important to human health as a contaminant in indoor environments since it is known to produce mycotoxins [3, 4] and act as an allergen
Summary
Chaetomium globosum is a filamentous fungus typically isolated from cellulosic substrates. Chaetomium (family Chaetomiaceae, class Sordariomycetes, phylum Ascomycota) is a genus of filamentous fungi encompassing species important in the decomposition of plant and other cellulose-rich materials that can be isolated from dung, plant debris, and soil. Chaetomium includes thermophilic species capable of growth at elevated temperatures as well as a few species that cause infections in vertebrates.
