Draft Genome Sequences of Human Pathogenic Fungus <i>Geomyces pannorum Sensu Lato</i> and Bat White Nose Syndrome Pathogen <i>Geomyces</i> ( <i>Pseudogymnoascus</i> ) <i>destructans</i>

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequences of Geomyces pannorum sensu lato and Geomyces (Pseudogymnoascus) destructans. G. pannorum has a larger proteome than G. destructans, containing more proteins with ascribed enzymatic functions. This dichotomy in the genomes of related psychrophilic fungi is a valuable target for defining their distinct saprobic and pathogenic attributes.
