The draft genome sequence of the ascomycete fungus Penicillium subrubescens reveals a highly enriched content of plant biomass related CAZymes compared to related fungi

•Penicillium subrubescens has an expanded set of CAZyme-encoding genes in its genome compared to other Penicillia.•This expansion is not across all families, but affects specific families.•This also includes several families involved in hemicellulose degradation. Here we report the genome sequence o...

Description
Summary:•Penicillium subrubescens has an expanded set of CAZyme-encoding genes in its genome compared to other Penicillia.•This expansion is not across all families, but affects specific families.•This also includes several families involved in hemicellulose degradation. Here we report the genome sequence of the ascomycete saprobic fungus Penicillium subrubescens FBCC1632/CBS132785 isolated from a Jerusalem artichoke field in Finland. The 39.75Mb genome containing 14,188 gene models is highly similar for that reported for other Penicillium species, but contains a significantly higher number of putative carbohydrate active enzyme (CAZyme) encoding genes.
