Trichoderma species are widely used to control fungal and nematode diseases of crops. To date, only one complete Trichoderma genome has been sequenced, T. reesei QM6a, a model fungus for industrial enzyme production, while the species or strains used for biological control of plant diseases are only available as draft genomes. Previously, we demonstrated that two Trichoderma strains (T. afroharzianum and T. cyanodichotomus) provide effective control of nematode and fungal plant pathogens. Based on deep sequencing using Illumina and Pacbio platforms, we have assembled high-quality genomes of the above two strains, with contig N₅₀ reaching 4.2 and 1.7 Mbp, respectively, which is greater than those of published draft genomes. The genome data will provide a resource to assist research on the biological control mechanisms of Trichoderma spp.

木霉菌种被广泛用于控制农作物的真菌和线虫病。迄今为止，仅对一个完整的木霉属基因组进行了测序，即里氏木霉QM6a，一种用于生产工业酶的模型真菌，而用于生物防治植物病害的物种或菌株只能作为基因组草图使用。以前，我们证明了两个木霉菌株（非洲木霉和蓝藻木霉）可有效控制线虫和真菌植物病原体。在使用Illumina和Pacbio平台进行深度测序的基础上，我们组装了上述两个菌株的高质量基因组，其重叠群N ₅₀分别达到4.2和1.7 Mbp，这比已发表的草案基因组要高。基因组数据将提供资源，以协助研究木霉属物种的生物控制机制。
