Genome sequence of fungal species no.11243, which produces the antifungal antibiotic FR901469

Abstract

Fungal species No.11243 was originally isolated from a decayed leaf sample collected in Kyoto, Japan. It produces FR901469, a 1,3-beta-glucan synthase inhibitor. The genome sequence of No.11243 was determined and annotated to obtain useful information for improving productivity of the effective antifungal agent FR901469.
