Abstract

Lecanicillium psalliotae is an entomopathogenic, mycoparasitical, and nematophagous fungus known to produce antibiotic and antifungal compounds. Here, we report the first 36-Mb draft genome sequence of L. psalliotae strain HWLR35. The draft genome contains 197 scaffolds and is predicted to have 11,009 protein-coding genes.
