Dioszegia hungarica strain:PDD-24b-2 Genome sequencing and assembly

A representative member of the cloud microbiota, Dioszegia hungarica strain PDD-24b-2, has been isolated from cloud water collected at the summit of the puy de Dome in France (Vaitilingom et al. 2012). This widespread fungal taxon is found in various environments: air, soil, phyllosphere, rhizosphere, and in cold environments such as snow and glacial meltwater rivers.Therefore, examining its genome will improve our understanding of fungal life found in climate change-relevant ecosystems (e.g. clouds, cold environments). D. hungarica PDD-24b-2 entire genome and mitochondrial genome have been sequenced.Reference:Vaitilingom et al. (2012). Long-term features of cloud microbiology at the puy de Dome (France).
