Abstract

Aeminium ludgeri is an extremotolerant microcolonial black fungus isolated from a biodeteriorated limestone art piece in the Old Cathedral of Coimbra, Portugal (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The high-quality draft genome sequence of Aeminium ludgeri presented here represents the first sequenced genome for both the recently described fungal family Aeminiaceae and the genus Aeminium.
