Clohesyomyces aquaticus is a saprobic fungus that was
originally isolated from submerged wood in the Clohesy River
(Queensland, Australia). On a PDA agar plates, it is slow growing
(~9 cm/week), appears woolly and grey, with large
numbers of conidiomata developing, particularly
on the base and sides of the plate.
Clohesyomyces aquaticus is classified in the
Dothideomycetes (Pleosporales, Lindgomycetaceae). Dothideomycetes
is the largest and most diverse class of ascomycete fungi. It
comprises 11 orders 90 families, 1300 genera and over 19,000 known
species. This genome was sequenced as part of the 1000 Fungal Genomes
Project.
