Abstract

Here, we report genome sequences of two Penicillium isolates from below the seafloor of the oligotrophic South Pacific Gyre. These genomes are the first reported for fungi from deeply buried marine sediment. Both genomes will provide valuable information regarding the role of fungi and carbon cycling in the energy-limited subsurface biosphere.

Highlights

We report genome sequences of two Penicillium isolates from below the seafloor of the oligotrophic South Pacific Gyre
SPG-F15 was assembled into 348 contigs totaling 36.13 Mbp in length with a 46.52% GϩC content
SPG-F1 was assembled into 457 contigs totaling 32.06 Mbp with a 48.26% GϩC content

Summary

Introduction

We report genome sequences of two Penicillium isolates from below the seafloor of the oligotrophic South Pacific Gyre. The genomes were assembled de novo using SPAdes v3.11.0 [4]. In SPAdes, the coverage cutoff was set to 10ϫ and the careful mode turned on to reduce the number of mismatches and errors. SPG-F15 was assembled into 348 contigs totaling 36.13 Mbp in length with a 46.52% GϩC content.
