Genome Sequences of Two Strains of the Food Spoilage Mold Aspergillus fischeri

Abstract

Aspergillus fischeri is a common food spoilage fungus and a close relative of the opportunistic human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus . Here, we sequenced the genomes of two isolates of A. fischeri to build resources for comparative genomics and to aid in differentiation between A. fischeri subspecies.
