Abstract

White-rot basidiomycetes in the family Polyporaceae are important decomposers of lignocellulosic biomass in forest ecosystems and are recognized for their potential in industrial applications. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of Lentinus arcularius, Polyporus parvovarius, and Trametes suaveolens, isolated from South Korea. Using PacBio and Illumina sequencing, we obtained hybrid genome assemblies ranging from 37.8 to 57.9 Mb, with GC contents of 51.7–57.7% and completeness values of 97.4–99.0% (BUSCO, Fungi dataset). Gene prediction revealed 13,374–19,374 protein-coding genes per genome. Functional annotation identified a wide array of carbohydrate-active enzymes and biosynthetic gene clusters. Our findings expand the genomic resources for Lentinus, Polyporus, and Trametes, providing new insights into their lignocellulose-degrading capacity and bioactive metabolite potentials.
