Genome Sequence of the Biocontrol Agent <i>Coniothyrium minitans</i> Conio (IMI 134523)

Coniothyrium minitans (synonym, Paraphaeosphaeria minitans) is a highly specific mycoparasite of the wide host range crop pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The capability C. to destroy sclerotia S. sclerotiorum has been well recognized and it available as widely used biocontrol product Contans WG. We present draft genome sequence Conio (IMI 134523), which previously in extensive studies that formed part registration package commercial product. This work provides distinctive resource for further research into molecular basis mycoparasitism harness potential minitans.
