Abstract

Aspergillus tubingensis WU-2223L, belonging to the section Nigri, is a hyperproducer of citric acid. Here, we present the high-quality draft (35 Mb) and mitochondrial (32.4 kb) genome sequences of this strain, which consisted of 16 scaffolds in total. The draft and mitochondrial genome sequences comprised 11,493 and 15 genes, respectively.
