Podospora decipiens PSN293 Minimal Draft
Podospora decipiens, also known as Rhypophila decipiens, is a coprophilous fungus known for producing several secondary metabolites with antifungal activity (1,2). It is considered very common on dung and it is globally distributed, especially in temperate and subtropical areas (3). It belongs to the family Naviculisporaceae (4). The species is homothallic and fruits easily on artificial media. The sequenced strain of Podospora decipiens PSN293 was isolated from donkey dung collected in Blesle, Auvergne, France.
