Fulvifomes fastuosus genome sequencing
This project reports the draft whole-genome sequence of Fulvifomes fastuosus strain MSU245 (formerly Phellinus fastuosus), a medicinal wood-decay polypore (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) isolated from a decaying log in a rubber tree plantation in Udon Thani Province, Thailand. The strain was sequenced to support an untargeted-metabolomics investigation of its bioactive secondary metabolites and to enable genome-based prediction of biosynthetic gene clusters. The genome provides a molecular reference confirming the taxonomic identity of the strain and underpins ongoing studies of the antioxidant, anticancer, and enzyme-inhibitory potential of this understudied tropical medicinal fungus.
