Draft Genome Sequence of Cryptococcus flavescens Strain OH182.9_3C, a Biocontrol Agent against Fusarium Head Blight of Wheat.
Cryptococcus flavescens strain OH182.9_3C (3C) is a novel biopesticidal agent that can be used to control fusarium head blight of wheat. Here we present the draft genome sequence for 3C, the first for the species C. flavescens. Additionally, several genes that may contribute to the biocontrol activities of 3C were identified in silico.
