Genome Sequencing and Analysis of the Filamentous Fungus Penicillium sclerotiorum 113, Isolated after Hurricane Sandy

ABSTRACT Penicillium sclerotiorum is a distinctive species within the genus Penicillium that usually produces vivid orange to red colonies, sometimes with colorful sclerotia. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of P. sclerotiorum strain 113, isolated in 2013 in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy from a flooded home in New Jersey.
