Draft genome sequence of the betaproteobacterial endosymbiont associated with the fungus Mortierella elongata FMR23-6

Abstract

The fungus Mortierella elongata FMR23-6 harbors an endobacterium inside its mycelium. Attempts to isolate the endobacterium from the fungus were not yet successful, but a highly purified bacterial fraction was prepared. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the endobacterium.
