Genome Features and AntiSMASH Analysis of an Endophytic Strain Fusarium sp. R1.

ABSTRACT: Endophytic fungi are one of the most prolific sources of functional biomolecules with therapeutic potential. Besides playing an important role in serious plant diseases, Fusarium strains possess the powerful capability to produce a diverse array of bioactive secondary metabolites (SMs). In order to in-depth mine gene clusters for SM biosynthesis of the genus Fusarium, an endophytic strain Fusarium sp. R1 isolated from Rumex madaio Makino was extensively investigated by whole-genome sequencing and in-depth bioinformatic analysis, as well as antiSMASH annotation. The results displayed that strain R1 harbors a total of 51.8 Mb genome, which consists of 542 contigs with an N50 scaffold length of 3.21 Mb and 50.4% GC content. Meanwhile, 19,333 functional protein-codi
