Fungal Species: Leptobacillium marksiae

Draft genome sequence of Leptobacillium coffeanum (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales), a freshwater fungus isolated from Bohol, Philippines

Scientists in the Philippines have sequenced the complete genetic code of a freshwater fungus called Leptobacillium coffeanum, which was found in forest streams in Bohol. This fungus belongs to a family of fungi that can help control pests and produce useful compounds for agriculture and medicine. The complete genetic information is now available to researchers worldwide for studying how this fungus works and finding new ways to use it for practical applications.
