Whole Genome Resequencing of White Fungus Isolated from Silkworms

Four strains of Beauveria bassiana exhibiting differences in hyphal morphology, growth rate, and virulence were isolated and identified from silkworms (Bombyx mori) infected with white muscardine disease. The identified strains were designated as Beauveria bassiana YW1, YW2, YW3, and YW4, and were deposited at the Korean Agricultural Culture Collection (KACC) under accession numbers KACC 410761, KACC 410762, KACC 410763, and KACC 410764, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing was performed for these strains, and comparative analyses were conducted to identify genetic variations and differences in toxin-related genes among the strains.
