Draft Genome Sequences of Several Fungal Strains Selected for Exposure to Microgravity at the International Space Station

ABSTRACT The whole-genome sequences of eight fungal strains that were selected for exposure to microgravity at the International Space Station are presented here. These baseline sequences will help to understand the observed production of novel bioactive compounds.
