Abstract

Trichosporon austroamericanum is a recently described species recognized for its emerging clinical significance in invasive trichosporonosis. In this study, we present the nanopore long-read-based de novo genome assembly of the type-strain CBS 17435. Additionally, we performed genomic comparative analyses with its closest relative, Trichosporon inkin.
