Previously unsequenced pathogene Penicillium species have been isolated from chestnuts and sequenced.
Many Penicillium spp. are capable of growing on chestnut, mainly during postharvest. In this study, the presence of Penicillium species on chestnuts has been monitored, and previously unsequenced Penicilium spp. have been isolated, while their genome was assembled by Illumina HTS.
