Abstract

Trichoderma asperellum PK1J2 is a promising cellulase-producing fungus isolated from a palm empty fruit bunch in Riau, Indonesia. Presented here is the genome assembly of T. asperellum PK1J2. The whole genome of the fungi was sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq PE150. The genome assembly was performed using SOAPdenovo, SPAdes, and Abyss software, and the assembly results of the three types of software were integrated with CISA software. T. asperellum PK1J2 has 6,835 protein-coding genes with a length of 9,233,597 bp. The final genome assembly was approximately 36 Mbp with a GC content of 48.45%. This whole genome shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under accession JAGJIK000000000.
