Draft genome sequence of Penicillium simile: insights for its safety biotechnological application.
Penicillium simile
Penicillium simile (ATCC MYA4591T = CBS 129191T) is phylogenetically different from P. raistrickii and other related species of the genus Penicillium (e. g. P. scabrosum), from which it can be distinguished on the basis of morphological trait analysis (Davolos et al. 2002). However, the genome sequence of P. simile, which can give insights not only for its potential biotechnological application but also for understanding its safety use, is still lacking. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of P. simile for setting up insights for safety biotechnological application. We sequenced the genome of Penicillium simile with massively parallel sequencing Illumina technology.
