Draft Genome Sequences of Fungi Isolated from the International Space Station during the Microbial Tracking-2 Experiment.

Overview

As part of the Microbial Tracking-2 study, 94 fungal strains were isolated from surfaces on the International Space Station, and whole-genome sequences were assembled. Characterization of these draft genomes will allow evaluation of microgravity adaption, risks to human health and spacecraft functioning, and biotechnological applications of fungi.
