Whole Genome Sequencing of Chaetomium globosum for Its Application in Biological Control

To reduce environmental pollution and pesticide residues, an increasing number of fungi are being used in biological control. Chaetomium globosum is a fungus found in plants, soil, straw, and manure, and the strain was isolated from red algae. Genomic DNA was sequenced using dual-end Illumina technology, resulting in the complete genome sequence of Chaetomium globosum, which is 33,107,708 base pairs in length and contains 8,704 annotated protein-coding genes. This genomic information provides a valuable reference for the application of Chaetomium globosum in biological control.
