Draft genome sequence of sp. strain G4 isolated from the Calientes geothermal field in Tacna, Peru.

We report the draft genome sequence of sp. strain G4, isolated from a hot spring in the Calientes geothermal field, Tacna, Peru. The genome was assembled into 164 contigs, totaling 3,362,411 bp, with an N50 value of 236,119 bp and a guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 52.

Penicillium polonicum a new isolate obtained from Cerrado soil as a source of carbohydrate-active enzymes produced in response to sugarcane bagasse.

Unlabelled: species have been studied as producers of plant cell wall degrading enzymes to deconstruct agricultural residues and to be applied in industrial processes. Natural environments containing decaying plant matter are ideal places for isolating fungal strains with cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities. In the present study, Cerrado soil samples were used as source of filamentous fungi able to degrade xylan and cellulose.
