Draft genome sequence of Talaromyces verruculosus ("Penicillium verruculosum") strain TS63-9, a fungus with great potential for industrial production of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes.

•The draft genome sequence was determined for the fungus Talaromyces verruculosus (“Penicillium verruculosum”) strain TS63-9, a potential industrial cellulase producer.•The draft genome was analyzed to identify carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) and polysaccharide-degrading enzymes.•The draft genome was compared to a closely related fungus Talaromyces cellulolyticus.
