Two draft genomes of fungal leaf endophytes from tropical gymnosperms
Two ascomycetes, <i>Neofusicoccum</i> sp. and <i>Xylaria</i> sp.<i>,</i> were isolated from healthy leaves of the tropical gymnosperms <i>Zamia pseudoparasitica</i> (Z2) and <i>Zamia nana</i> (Z50) from Panama. The two draft genomes possess a broad predicted repertoire of carbohydrate-degrading CAZymes, peptidases, and secondary metabolites, with more secondary metabolite clusters in the <i>Xylaria</i> isolate.
