Draft genome sequence of Cephalotrichum sp. MUT 6686 (Sordariomycetes; Microascaceae): insights for mycoremediation of petroleum-contaminated sites.. Cephalotrichum sp. MUT 6686

The transformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by microfungi that tolerate extreme environmental conditions experienced in the presence of recalcitrant organic pollutants may be of outstanding importance for mycoremediation of PAH-polluted sites, in a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly manner (see Venice et al., 2020; Davolos et al., 2021). Cephalotrichum sp. MUT 6686 (Hypocreomycetidae; Microascales; Microascaceae) was isolated from soil contaminated by petroleum (refined oil stocking areas) in Italy. The strain is preserved in the public mycological collection of Mycotheca Universitatis Taurinensis (MUT), University of Turin, Turin, Italy.Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the strain MUT 6686 obtained with MinIon instrument (Oxford Nanopore Technology). The genome of Cephalotrichum sp. MUT 6686 was assembled denovo (35.9 Mb, GC % 55.26) and may elucidate several biological processes, including the secondary metabolism biosynthetic gene clusters (Davolos et al., 2021).The Department of Technological Innovations and Safety of Plants, Products and Anthropic Settlements (DIT), INAIL, Research Area, Rome, Italy, financially supported the whole genome sequencing (WGS) of Cephalotrichum sp. MUT 6686 as part of the NGS Project in the PAR 2019-2021.

耐受难降解有机污染物共存极端环境条件的微真菌对多环芳烃（polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs）的转化，以经济高效且环境友好的方式，对于多环芳烃污染场地的真菌修复（mycoremediation）具有显著的应用价值（参见Venice等人，2020；Davolos等人，2021）。
柱顶孢霉属（Cephalotrichum sp.）菌株MUT 6686，分类地位隶属于肉座菌亚纲（Hypocreomycetidae）、小囊菌目（Microascales）、小囊菌科（Microascaceae），分离自意大利境内精炼油储存区的石油污染土壤。该菌株保藏于意大利都灵大学都灵真菌保藏中心（Mycotheca Universitatis Taurinensis, MUT）的公共真菌馆藏库中。
