Abstract

We report here the whole-genome sequence and draft assembly for a bioherbicidal strain of Albifimbria verrucaria, CABI-IMI 368023, which was formerly identified as Myrothecium verrucaria. This isolate has been well studied for the biological control of important weeds, including kudzu and giant salvinia.
