Whole genome sequencing and annotation of a non-pathogenic Fusarium brachygibbosum TZ1MST22 strain isolated from Medicago sativa in Southern Tunisian oases
Comparative genomic analyses revealed that F. brachygibbosum TZ1MST22 harbors more biomass-degrading enzymes than other pathogenic and endophytic Fusarium species, which will support efforts to optimize its cultivation for the high-yield production of useful metabolites.
This genome provides a resource for bioprospecting secondary metabolites from medicinal-plant endophytes and underscores the value of plant-associated isolates for biosafety and antimicrobial-resistance surveillance in opportunistic pathogens.

Mycoparasitic fungi in the
Hypocreaceae
family are ecologically and economically significant, yet genomic resources for many lineages remain limited. This is particularly true for
Hypomyces
and some related genera, which include causative agents of cobweb and web bubble diseases in commercial mushroom farms. Here, we present high-quality genome assemblies and annotations for two mycoparasitic
Hypocreaceae
fungi,
Hypomyces semicircularis
X01500 and
Mycogone
sp. X01501 representing a distinct phylogenetic lineage within
Mycogone
. Using a hybrid sequencing approach (Illumina and ONT), we generated chromosome-scale assemblies for X01501 (32,977,754 bp, 8 contigs, N50 = 4,917,145 bp) and X01500 (39,466,758 bp, 8 contigs, N50 = 5,660,398 bp), with BUSCO completeness > 99.7%. We annotated 9,717 and 11,121 protein-coding genes in genomes of X01501 and X01500, respectively, the majority of which received functional annotation. The metrics indicate high assembly continuity, completeness, and accuracy, with seven nuclear contigs and one mitochondrial contig recovered for each strain. These genomes provide a foundation for future research into the evolution and mechanisms of mycoparasitism within this understudied clade.

Bioprospecting of plant growth-promoting bacteria enables the identification of beneficial microbial resources with significant potential for sustainable agricultural applications. In this context, strain TRQ48 was isolated from a commercial field of wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum) located in the Yaqui Valley, Mexico, with the aim of exploring its plant growth-promoting potential. The draft genome sequence presented a genomic size of 2,777,016 bp, 32.5% G + C content, 665,763 bp N50, 2 L50, and 19 contigs. Taxonomic affiliation demonstrated that strain TRQ48 belonged to Mammaliicoccus sciuri. Genome annotation identified 2756 coding DNA sequences (CDS) distributed into 259 subsystems, highlighting CDS associated with iron acquisition and metabolism, stress response, and virulence, disease, and defense, among others. Metabolic assays reflect the strain’s capacity to produce siderophores and auxins, relating these positive traits to significantly (p ≤ 0.05) promote growth of wheat shoot length (7.09%) and root and shoot dry weight (75% and 18.43%) compared to uninoculated wheat plants. Biosafety testing indicated that the strain is susceptible to commonly used antibiotics and lacks clinically relevant resistance profiles, matching genomic analysis, which did not reveal any critical virulence factors. Thus, although the presented results show that M. sciuri TRQ48 is a promising beneficial biosafe strain, further studies are still needed to evaluate its performance under agro-ecosystems at commercial levels.
