Abstract
Byssochlamys spectabilis no. 5 (anamorph Paecilomyces variotii no. 5) (NBRC109023) was isolated from a soil sample in 2001 in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. This fungus is highly resistant to formaldehyde. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of P. variotii no. 5; this draft was produced with the intent of investigating the mechanism of formaldehyde resistance. This is the first report of the genome sequence of any Paecilomyces species.

Summary
Byssochlamys spectabilis no. 5 (anamorph Paecilomyces variotii no. 5) (NBRC109023) was isolated from a soil sample in 2001 in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The genus Paecilomyces includes formaldehyde- and heat-resistant, opportunistic, nematophagous, and food spoilage fungi [1,2,3,4,5]. Paecilomyces variotii is the anamorph of Byssochlamys spectabilis [6]. 5 (NBRC109023) was isolated in 2001 as a formaldehyde-resistant fungus from a soil sample taken at the Port of Nagasu, which is on the Ariake Sea in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. This strain degraded formaldehyde at concentrations as high as 2.0% within 20 days.
